Melaka

We arrided in Melaka Sentral around 2.30 pm (left 9.15 am but stopped for passport control ect for ages.). From the Sentral station we took bus #17 to the Dutch sq. Walking around for a while we instantly liked Melaka. We found a hostel Jalan Jalan guesthouse on the book and got a double room with fan for 50 ringgits. Rest od the day was mostly walking in this massive mall trying to figure out what to do with my phone. Two guys tried to have a look at it. The other tried to change the battery and this other nice nerd tried to change something else inside it. Did not work.

After it had already become dark we headed back. Most places shut really early there. We went to bed really early after the long day.

The next morning we woke up and went to eat, what came our local place, this chinese family run place around the corner. Melaka and the Chinatown area (Jonker str) wasnt that big at all so only the previous night we had seen most of the mosqs etc. We decided to walk to Little India where was this Sikh festival going on. We tried to go in but I wasnt dressed appropriately with shorts on. Steve bought some indian candy things from these street stalls.

We headed back to the shopping mall to buy me a phone. I had decided to buy a cheaper phone for now. I ended up buying this Samsung J1 from Samsung shop for 106€. After that we wondered back to wait for the night market to start.

It was a lot bigger than we expected. Lots going on in there. Soon it was ruined by massive rain storm. Which was reallly heavy and took for ever. We ended up waiting in this shop for the rain to pass until we got bored. We ran to eat at this local place where our food came before our drinks...!! (water and a tea!).

Before going to bed we chilled at the hostel couches and drank some beer (18 ringgits).

Notices:

• how people give or receive money etc. With two hands or with a little bow
• fast escalators in Singapore
• people always talked to Steve as a Sir. Forgetting about my existance. Or if I paid the food or what ever they gave the change back to Steve. So annoying and offensing, their culture tho..
