The Stadthuys - The house of The Governors
by Audrey118
The red building, Stadthuys was once the official residence of the Dutch Govenors and officers.
The Stadthuys was built around the 1600s. Believed to be the oldest Dutch building in Asia, it has incredibly weighty doors and pleasant louvred window, all the characteristic features of Dutch colonial architecture.
It is now a historical site to many tourist and houses the Museum of History and Ethography - worth going in to see some old stuff - old plates, maps etc.
Sun Cream!!
by Designerartgirl
Suncream can be one of the most usful things you could probably bring to Melaka. When going through all the touristy places such as A'famosa it becomes easy for the sun to burn you, and being close to the sea is often a little windy meaning you wont always notice the burning of your skin...
Street Dancing
by Loubna
Saturday night was karaoke night on the podium at the end of Jonker Street, while walking down the street and tasting all the local delicatecies we were at the right place to catch these two ladies' dance. The one all made up went on stage a little later and her voice was surprisingly high pitched and very smooth. That dance was definitely a show I am glad we didn't miss :o)
