Kaladkarin: Backpacking Malaysia, Day 1-Malacca

While growing up, wherever I go, either school, church or doing errands, there's always someone with me. That is why, this Malaysia tour is very memorable to me, as this is my first time to travel alone and in a foreign land.

My bucketlist includes celebrating New Year's Eve in different parts of the world and experience the New Year's countdown to its landmark. This year, I decided to go to Malaysia, where the New Year's Countdown will be held in the famous Petronas Tower.

I arrived at KL Airport Dec 30, 2014, midnight. It was my plan to spend overnight at the airport and go to my hotel in the morning for early check-in. I'll just drop my bag and proceed to Melacca for day tour.

at Bukit Bintang intersection, road under construction that is why the traffic is congested.

After checking-in, I was greeted by the male receptionist. Because I got there early at7AM, and check-in should be 12nn, He let me proceed to my room already since he's self-confessed fan of Jericho Rosales/Christine Hermosa. I was so happy to know that! After checking-in, I then went back to KL Sental to proceed with my day tour to Malacca.

After 2hrs of travelling, I reached Melaka Sentral. The Central Bus station of Melaka.

Minnie Mouse inspired Trishaw and there
are a lot more different Trishaw theme.

After my walking tour in Jonker St. I then proceeded to my main destination. I asked the Trishaw driver how much is going to Island Mosque, and he told me to take the taxi instead. I hailed a taxi and asked the driver to bring me to the Mosque. I then talked to the driver if he can wait for me and bring me back to the Sentral after I roam around the Mosque, we agreed he'll wait for 30mins for me.
