Malacca - A study in scarlet

Malacca was probably really nice until someone decided it would be a cool idea to paint it a nauseating shade of red. What were they thinking?

Like Georgetown, the historic centre of Malacca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Because places need to be full of European-style colonial buildings to qualify as significant, obviously. So I wouldn't bother with the rest of Malaysia if I were you - it's all just foreign nonsense.

Heritage area

Melaka Art Gallery (1931) and Christ Church Melaka (1753).

Can't you read?

Ridiculous taxis in Dutch Square

Lil' windmill. That's almost racistly Dutch

Jesus likes to rock out because Jesus is cool

(Christ Church Melaka)

Taming Sari revolving tower. What a tourist trap!
You wouldn't catch me riding that. Not in a million y... let's just cut to the photos

I took loads of photos to try to make a 360-degree panorama. It inevitably completely failed.
Maybe I'll try to make it anyway?

Melaka Malay Sultanate Water Wheel, and some water

Church of St Francis Xavier (1849) and more water

Red street

Red bridge

Red Dave

Red Dwarf

(Note: May not be in Malacca)

Chinatown

Cheng Hoon Teng Temple (1704).
The oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia. That's right, look impressed

Masjid Kampung Kling (1748).

One of the oldest mosques in Malaysia. That's right, look slightly less impressed

Pasar Malam night market, Jonker Walk.

I still don't get the mass appeal of night markets. Though I ate a weird red octopus thing, so I guess they have their uses

No one tells me where to take my photos!

In defiance, here's a hilarious satirical photo of the Photo Spot. I'm wasted on Blogger

Dilapidated boardwalk and massive embarrassment, never-completed monorail.

How's that for a photo spot, Melaka Council??? I hate you

Lizard monitoring
