Hi hi VTers! Know this is a strange question but I didn't realise my trip next weekend coincides with the start of the EPL season! Quite excited to see how the season starts, does anyone know where I can watch the live matches? Any pubs? I'll be staying at Puri, and from what I remember, they do not really have cable tv or rather, no soccer channel...any replies greatly appreciated!
just around the corner from Puri there are two bars mostly populated by non asian foreigners, so that is a good punt. also near the centre of town there is an elaborate bar catering for non asian foreigners where you might be able to watch the games. I dont think you would have a problem. While you are at Puri, kindly say hello to the front desk staff, you can say the doctor from cuba said hello...
I have hear that the houses are very narrow because in old day they had to pay to a very high tax for facade. That is way you will think that the house are very little, but they are not .. if you get in you will find that they are very long and have lovely patios insid, like Hotel Puri have
There is no photography allowed within the heritage house but you can take a picture of the servant's quarters which is adjoined to this house...it is just as pretty and ornate
btw it is now a coffee house
If you're a regular viewer of Living Asia Channel, then you'll definitely recognize this picture. It's the windows of an old building along Jonker Street.
It was while standing on the pavement, waiting for my companions, that I looked up and was awed by what I saw. A feeling of deja vu struck me "Hey, I've seen these windows before". Then, it dawned on me that this is the opening shot of the "Windows" segment of Living Asia.
A long time ago, even before the Portuguese and the Dutch came to Melaka, Admiral Cheng-Ho, Commander of the Chinese Imperial fleet, arrived in Melaka in 1409. An alliance was forged and Melaka became a protectorate of China . To seal the deal, a Chinese princess was given in marriage to a Melakan Sultan.
Like the beaded shoe, the nonya kebaya has been described as traditional haute couture. I feel almost decadent each time I slip on a blouse with intricate embriodery and lacework because it takes hours of painstaking labour to make! Melaka is the right place to buy the beautifully embroidered top that you see on the mannequin. Worn by the Peranankans on special occasions, each piece can fetch up to RM700 if the piece is hand embroidered on Swiss Voile. Expect to pay RM150-RM200 for a 'real' nonya top made on Swiss Voile. If not, go for the cheaper ones made of courser materials.
