• Melakka and goodbye Malaysia

    10 oktober 2022, Maleisië ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    After I wanted to chill out more, Melaka was a suitable place to calm down, although due to Islamic holidays the city was crowded of Muslims (65% of Malaysians are Muslims). After I went to a night market with the hostel, I saw friends from Langkawi. Also, I saw crazy tuck tucks with music and all sorts of kid heroes, which was almost annoying haha.

    At the next day I was able to see the most beautiful places relatively quickly, and I noticed a lot of transport ships on the Strait of Malacca. The city has grown on wealth due to spice trade in the past, which was one reason of invasions of the Portuguese, Japanese and the Netherlands. [Grown trough trade because of his strategic location like in Georgetown].

    A mosque close to the water was my highlight, which was rounded off with a food coma at the food court. [2x main course, 1x smoothie and a giant ice cream sundae for dessert for €7.31😂.

    Melakka is a very nice and smaller city, which offers you good evenings.

    In summary Malaysia is a more advanced country as Thailand i would say and a little bit more expensive as the South of Thailand.

    Soon it is time to move to Singapore, then to Indonesia to see Mount/Volcano Bromo and Crater ijen. Rounded will be Indonesia in Bali and probably with the Gilli islands and Nusa Penida.
