Malacca


It's been a long time since I wrote my last blog. I almost forgot that this blog was even exist! It was my niece's blog (anna) that reminds me of my blog. OK, I'll tell you about my journey to Malacca last week end.

Last week end we went to Malacca. Of course with all of my family plus my father in law. He has been in KL for almost 1 week now. He said that he really missed his grandchildren, he always thinking about them in Jakarta. Ohh how sweet is he? Well, anyway, his knee was hurt since he fell in Jakarta a year ago. So, he couldn't walk much!

If you like the detail, Malacca is the second smallest state in Malaysia. It is located in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, on the Straits of Malacca. The state's capital is Malacca Town. From Kuala Lumpur it's about 200km, or 2 hours with a car at speed limit 110 km.

When we get there we had lunch at Pizza Hut. Why Piza Hut??? Why not trying the real Mallacan food? Well, it's because we bring the kids. It's easier for us to feed them at Pizza Hut than to the unknown food, right? If we didn't bring the kids, maybe we would try to get lunch at the local restaurant.

After lunch, we went to the hottest spot of Malacca where you can find a museum, a very old church, antique's store, Budha's temple, and antique hotel. Most of the old church was built in 18 century, and still in good condition, thanks for the malaysian government, they do really care for the historical building in Malacca.

Before I went to Malacca, I kept thinking that the whole Malacca's town is full with antique's building, old church, old bicycle, but actually it wasn't. Only the small region has some antique's building, and that was only the tourist area. Too bad, we did not spent the night there, after all, I like Malacca, if I have a chance and time, I would love to see Malacca again.
