Malacca Streets
23 September, 2009
Wednesday
Malacca seemed to have many charms and though a fleeting visit gave us a good overall impression, I was sure that the "lived-in" and laid back feel would make it an ideal place to spend an inspiring few months.

The historic port city seemed to be quite compact, with even the dirt adding positively to the vibe of the city. I had a feeling that there was lots of depth and culture waiting to be explored. Throughout our exploration of the streets, here are some of the things we saw.



A travelers' cafe along the river.

An incense pot in front of a property - a familiar site in Chinese culture, but still interesting for me.

One of the many snacks and confectionary shops in Chinatown offering a standard range of products, but with a row of unusual head containers out in front.

Mini lionheads and other toys, statues, pottery and items for Chinese (or tourist) consumption.



A hawker's stall waiting to be used later in the evening.



This guy was chopping and processing coconuts.

Food, snacks, pastries and more pastries!
