The school next to the mall in the front of the video has a beautiful chapel inside. You can ask the guards to accompany u to visit it and it's one of the best preserved and well decorated chapels in Malaysia

It's the smk st francis chapel

Thanks

[@StuCassie]

Grab a couple beers Stu

[@olderbackpacker]

Thank you so much :) Beers will wait until probably Thailand where it’s a lot cheaper lol

[@redavocado9639]

Melaka vs kota Kinabalu which one looks better?

[@olderbackpacker]

Looks better? Malala but more authentic. KK

[@redavocado9639]

@olderbackpacker so which one u prefer if are given chance to stay?

[@olderbackpacker]

Having stayed at both, Melaka was too touristy, a bit more expensive and KK felt more genuine, I’d go back to KK, but that’s my personal choice :)

I know that Meow cafe.. When i was there in September i had a change to peek a bit, but didn't drink or eat something there.. Is it good?

[@olderbackpacker]

I only had coffee there and it was a good cup of coffee :)

[@ciu9940]

@olderbackpacker okay thank u

[@russellscott1064]

Melaka was unexpectedly expensive and lacked value for what it offered. I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t choose to go back.

[@olderbackpacker]

It’s a big tourist area, I should have realised that prices will be more then anywhere else!

[@russellscott1064]

@olderbackpacker Kuala Lumpur is cheaper and better.

[@LisaLisa-mo2tg]

​@@russellscott1064Yeahh man Malacca had to notice your complaining.. It is not good for our tourism industri..malacca please take action about the prize.. What happen to goa tourism people just get lose to other country..thank you for your honest...

[@russellscott1064]

@LisaLisa-mo2tg I have no idea what you're trying to say.

[@patoises]

you are 55?

[@olderbackpacker]

Yes I am. Why? Do I look older?

[@patoises]

@@olderbackpacker you look much older, I guess you had a tough life. Hope you are not offended

[@olderbackpacker]

Hmmmm not really had a tough life. Not offended much. Although I’ve always looked older, it’s how you feel in the inside. I know people my age who think that they should be settled down on a night time and wouldn’t even think of what I’m doing. I still feel like I’m 25 and think I’ve still got the energy 😀

[@patoises]

@@olderbackpacker good for you, what you feel inside is more important

[@timeaftertime-om7os]

Malaka is overrated Jonker is overpriced market

[@olderbackpacker]

Totally agree. I think 2 nights here is long enough 🙂

[@SilverfoxJB]

Those bloody bikes, loud, obnoxious, ugly, lots of coloured lights, totally out of place, trouble is Malaysians seem to love that shit. Melaka is nice, still rather do Ipoh and Taiping. (And of course Penang). Museums in Malaysia in my experience are overwhelmingly a let down.

[@olderbackpacker]

Too many of them bikes! :/ Can’t believe I’ve been in Malaysia for 3 weeks! Gone too quick

[@SilverfoxJB]

@olderbackpacker Well, you have 90 days, do you have to get back to the UK by a certain date or is it self imposed. Slow down, enjoy a change of pace. Very few counties as affordable as Malaysia and so much for you to see.
