Night Scenes In Malacca

Today I thought of putting up some thai food pictures.. but I guess after the "Gruesome Find" in yesterday's post, I decided to postpone that post till the "grossiness" subsides... Meanwhile, here are some Malacca trip pictures...

During the second night, we went for the river cruise... it was compulsory, no-one was to be exempted, we all had to go though I would gladly spend my evening in my hotel room doing my "business".................. (blogging la!! what else..lol..)

Thumbs up at the entrance...

everyone seems happy enough...
relaxing after the long day course...

hey, I think I "look" tall in this pic... heeheee..

then into the boat or ferry.. we went...

felt "safer" looking at these new life jackets..

the forty minutes cruise began....

some night scenes we passed through..
during the river cruise..

brightly lit up bridges...

Other than some brightly lit lights on some houses on one side, the beautiful drawings on some of the buildings,I was feeling quite bored during the cruise.... but then... I still have praises for Malacca... at least now they have more tourist spots than in IPOH!!

Sad to say, Ipoh has nothing much the tourists can go to... of course except for..... FOOD! With that exception, Ipoh is now known as an "old folks hometown" where it is suitable for retirees..... LOL....

    What pretty night pictures of your cruise. I know you would rather have been blogging, but you have to go to fun places like this so you can blog about them!!!

    I'd love that river cruise, Claire... Of course, I am an old lady ---so seeing all of the bright lights and enjoying the cruise would be for ME....

    As Ginny said, you need to visit places like this so that you can blog about them for us... ha
    Hugs,

    Hi Reana, first of all that gruesome find previous posting....if that is here and those pics sent to our press, it's game over for that shop.
    The health people will be swarming over the place, and the store will be closed till they put their act together.
    You should have sent those pics to the manager or the directors of that company.

    Your Malacca pics are really breathtaking and if not for your mention I would have thought it is Taiwan, Hong Kong....anywhere but not Malacca.
    I was born in Malacca....a Malacca unlike your pics.
    Have fun.
    Lee.

    Nice! At one time the river was so black, dirty and stinky...like Sg Petani. I wonder when the town council or state government is going to do anything about it.

    I always wish to go Melacca again. I miss their chicken rice ball, chendol and celup-celup.

    the night cruise look interesting. yeah..i agree about the ipoh part. we have so many beautiful buildings/houses and yet nothing is being done to restore them like in Malacca. very sad indeed!
