• On the Way to Melakka

    I am so glad I joined the two women and am now sitting comfortably in the car instead of the bus.

    I am thinking about whether I should also drive the remaining routes with Grab.... The thought is very tempting.
    In the end, we have now found a ride for 216 MYR. Divided by 3, that's just under 14.- that this ride is now costing me, and I think this luxury of going door to door is worth it to me. No changing, no cabs, no searching, no lugging.... How wonderful.
    The ride takes about 2.5h so also a relief in terms of time.
    And less quiet or silent than on the bus. Europeans among themselves! There is exchanged and laughed!

    We agree, the food tastes not really good. I am glad the two share this opinion.
    After I have eaten so well in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, this is a bitter setback.

    Malaysia is really totally different. In KL, unlike George Town, the people were very nice. Despite the impressive architecture, KL can't compete with Bangkok.
    The charm is missing. The Buddhism is missing, with the beautiful temples and the peace and joie de vivre of the people.

    I am now looking forward to my next service apartment in Melacca, right by the sea and look forward to the last week in Singapore.
