Greetings
from Melaka,
After my physical checkup in Bangkok I headed south
to Malaka on the west coast of Malasia, a city with a colorful history.
Six nights exploring the nooks and crannies reinforced the old colonial
city's reputation. On the morning of the seventh day I hopped on the
Super VIP Express bus for Pinang Island further up the west coast of the
country.
Peace
