Melaka part 2

Porta de Santiago (aka A Famosa) with the ruins of St. Paul's Church on top of the hill

A Famosa trees
One thing that you must be warned about when coming to Melaka: everything is in miniature. ("Miniscule" even, according to B.) What I mean is that hundreds of years ago, they didn't think big.

the lighthouse

Alright, big enough to dwarf my mom, but for a lighthouse?



My brother does his model thing

Muslim schoolchildren, rambutan and a museum of independence

Dutch gravestones

other sights around town: replica waterwheel, replica ship, schoolbuses for visiting kids
