In ...A great posting and wonderful pictures Zurin!<br /><br />In the 70s when I used to scour Jonker Street for interesting finds,I was warned even then that much of the stuff was actually fakes or junk! But that didn't stop me from rummaging through broken plates and furniture to discover that one amazing nyonya ceramic!<br /><br />I agree - Melaka is charmingly quaint but orderly unlike chaotic Penang. <br /><br />Some do not agree that its heritage preservation has quite met the exacting international standards but I think it is fine.<br /><br />Being A Melaka Minangkabau on my mother's side I've always been partial to the history and legends surrounding this ancient watering hole, especially that of Puteri Gunung Ledang and Nenek Kebayan.<br /><br />There's definitely a certain mystique surrounding Melaka!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
