I adore India, Nepal, Vietnam, so Malaysia just doesn’t really float my boat. Maybe if I’d gone there first, 20 years ago before I fell in love with Thailand, then India, I would have enjoyed it a lot more, but it was a good experience to see some of Malaysia and I’d very much like to see the rest of it.

I wonder how much you were influenced by where you came from. I visited Malacca in 1999 as my first stop in the “real” Asia after landing in Singapore and spending a week there. It seemed so exotic and cheap in comparison! I didn’t know much about it so I loved the history and the old buildings and I loved being able to ride a gaudy bicycle rickshaw from my guesthouse in an old colonial building to the entrance of a modern, western style shopping mall! I agree with folks that suggested that it would be a great entrance city to Asia for people who haven’t traveled there before. But I’m also guessing it’s a lot busier now than it was 15 years ago, too. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to go back and check it out again with the family in tow.

Hi Beth, you could certainly spend a few days in Malacca exploring the old town and the churches etc. Try and be there for the weekend night market, but it’s very busy on weekends. We stayed a week and I was very glad to leave. Malaysia and I don’t get on so well.

Originally I was thinking of doing just a day trip to Malacca, but maybe I’ll stay a bit longer.

Thanks for all the info! 🙂

Oh I know, those statues are so funny! He’s the guy behind the whole Jonker Walk renovation, so Malacca has a lot to thank him for.
