Chapter 2: In The City Of History

Whoever in Malaysia sure know this place: Melaka, the Town of History. (But I prefer "city" rather than "town", it,s getting better. So below here "city" is used)

As the day started, I rode my usual Mouse Deer to Tampin, the Town of Swallows, to give some mechanical check ups for my dear deer. As the check ups done, both of us ran to Beautiful Garden in the Town of Swallows to fetch Poisoned Swallow as planned, that is to have a swim in the Bluish Pool of City of History, i.e. swimming pool.

We actually planned to have a movie after swimming (Eagle Eye). But I think better we have a trip to some special places in this city which we never been to. So we canceled the movie and planned the destinations. We planned to go to the Istana, the newly re-placed Eye of Malaysia, the cruise trip on River of Melaka and the Jonker Walk. Unfortunately for Eye of Malaysia and the cruise trip, we unable to go. First, the Eye only started to open on 7th November (source: my brother) and second, the cruise has too many students there (9 buses total), and they don't want to sell the ticket unless the students finished their cruises.

Well, that's ok. At least we still able to go to the Istana and the Jonker Walk, and additionally, Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade. Not sure how Poisoned Swallow think, but I like the trip to the Istana and the Jonker Walk. For the Istana, it's my first time to go there, where we just used RM 1.00 for each person with our beloved student card. For the Jonker Walk, it's my first time too to park the car next to the river, i.e. another parking area which mostly my family won't use. Moreover, I've got the first chance to get our trip tracked and, again, photos geotagged.

Overall, I'm quite satisfy for this day.

p/s: Again, here goes to map with photos and trip track integrated. Unfortunately, free account of Flickr doesn't allow me to publish more than 20 photos outside the website, i.e. on Google Maps. So I'll just put the photo slide show from Flickr here too. ^^
