The next stop in our adventure takes us to the city of Malacca (or Melakka). A very old town founded back in the 14th century. It has always been a very important place that because of its strategic position was colonized by many european nations including the Portuguese, the English. To this day, many buildings show this rich past which is why the city was selected as a World Heritage site by the UNESCO.

We were able to see the Chinese night market which is very lively.
