Melaka

We went to Melaka over the weekend. It was Mum's birthday too - whatever that means?

Melaka is a small city on the west coast of Malaysia - if you drive at 140km/h it takes less than two hours to get there from Singapore. People say that Melaka is backward but it is a peaceful place with the "old charm" thats made up of shop houses, the Jonker Street Night market and some really good places to eat and drink. The Geographer Bar is pretty good - they even let in underage people; The Bulldog Cafe is great too and it even sells NZ beef and lamb! There is a laksa place that serves a fantastic lunch for RM15 for two people!

We were slightly worried about going to Malaysia since Winston apparently got bitten by a spider while eating lunch. After our time in Melaka, I think its safe to say that Winston was talking shit.
