The first welcome is the cows on the road walking freely. The sights of vehicles do not bother them.
Not too far away, the old mosque, with the Melaka style architecture. The atmosphere around is queit and peaceful.
The image of the bus stop. If not wrong, this is also unique to Melaka architecture. Reminds me of the times I had to take the bus in school.
The wooden house in full green. I've seen a few of these kampung houses. And usually they come in the colour of green. Looks simple and at the same time looks cosy.
Further along the kampung, is my favourite - the beach. It's the best time to visit the beach - during the sunset. I thought this pic looks cool - can be mistaken for an oveseas pic!
And along the beach, the many fishermen's boats lined up nicely, after their catch of the day.
This journey through the kampung really makes one go - 'no need to go far far' (for holidays). Sometimes, these simple things in our very own country - like this kampung Malaysia can be an attraction itself :)
Coming up next, a feast at one of the gerai (eateries) in the kampung!
I LOVE kampung! Especially in night time.... :)
ReplyDeletekampung always give me a very relex feeling, not tension like town...
ReplyDeletethanks for the comments man,hope you like the befunky app! how do you like working in singapore? planning to stay there long term?
ReplyDeleteOh, nice pictures. Is it in Melaka?
ReplyDeleteNice to see cows roaming freely - can't find these in the city. I think the bus stop with the special design can only be found in Melaka.
ReplyDeleteHey, I like the photo of the beach. Yeah, you are right - can be mistaken for an overseas photo! : )
Hey bro, I thing I recognized a few of the photo ler. It's just walking distance from my grandma's house. LOL. haha =) So you came to malacca heh?
ReplyDeleteKampung is the best place to escape from the hustle & bustle of the city. I like the mosque, its uniquely Malacca
ReplyDeletei like the beach... so serene and peaceful. i sometimes wonder will kampung still available in 50 years time...
ReplyDeleteactually, would u mind to take some time to introduce some other places within malacca that worth a visit, apart from the typical ones (just like what u do now).
ReplyDeletehave been to the malacca city so many times.. and when ppl ask me to go again, i feel like.. "har?? repeat again??"
Oh when oh when, when will I see those beautiful sight again. The serenity and calm of a kampung, there's nothing quite like it.
ReplyDeleteFeeling rushes of nostalgia.
I grow up in Kampong nearby seaside. Now the Kampong is no more a Kampong, it's full of concrete wall. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteOooo...serene and beautiful view...such bliss!:)

ReplyDeletedid you wear red shirt when you were there? hehe you should you know! eh i'm pretty confuse with facts about cow and cobra. cow is color blind and yet people relate them with red. cobra is deaf yet we relate them with music from flute. weird aite? :D
i love the architectural in malacca. they still keep the heritage building too. unlike some other cities, they destroy them. penang is included :(
agree with you that we don't have to go abroad to see fantastic scenery :)
