We arrived in Malaysia to the south along the west coast and we did our first stop in Melaka. A charming, quiet little town, not that small because it has a population of 700,000 inhabitants. Melaka is a mix of culture just like Singapore, with a colorful past, it was successively invaded by the Portuguese, Dutch, English, French and finally the Japanese and now like most cities in Malaysia are there are a large number of immigrants, basically Chinese and Indians, also each city has its own Chinatown and Little India.

We tried a bit of all locales specialties, including their famous spring roll and the Laksa (Noodle, curry, tofu). We visited the history museum of the city and we did a bike ride at night and we visited the city on foot, we could contemplating the facades of the walls of houses on the river sides painted representing the local culture.

Then we left for the capital, Kuala Lumpur at just 2 hours by bus from there.
A great city much more modern than the other major town of South East Asia (except Singapore) Not much to see or visit, expept few government buildings, Chinese temples, the Batu Cave Indian temple or some super modern skyscrapers as the famous Petronas Towers, so we took the opportunity to do other things more common like going to the cinema, go to the hairdresser, shopping, it was perfect cause the weather was not that good those last days. We stayed 3 nights in Chinatown in a terrible place the worst so far and quite expensive .

We now continue our way to the north.
