Congratulations Melaka, I'm proud of you.
I've been to Malacca in 2010, 2011 so I guess this year I'll have to go there again :)
ReplyDeleteI love going to Melaka but everytime pergi mesti tak sempat pergi ke Jonker Street. Oh, this reminds me I have still not post my Melaka story for last year.
ReplyDeleteThristhan> Normally, every year Malacca will come out with new attraction. Now they have a submarine in Dataran 1Malaysia. I still can't make it there.
ReplyDeleteEmila Yusof> Jonker street just 5 minutes walk from my office. Penuh dengan pelancong kat situ. Saya balik kadang-kadang lalu situ... memang meriah, terutama waktu sekarang ni (Chinese New Year).. Banyak tanglung sedang / telah digantung.
Hubby and I are planning to go for a vacation in the near future. We would like to include Malaysia and Singapore in our itinerary. Melaka is interesting to visit.
