Nice to see that you appear to have had a good time in Malacca. So which trishaws are a more comfortable ride, the good old Penang ones or the side saddle Malaccan ones?

I have never ever seen this before. This reminds me of a kind of potato dumpling of the Czeck. Interesting. <strong>Peter: It is just cooked rice pressed into a ball. There is nothing to it, really!</strong> Do you have this recipe? I have never ever seen this before. This reminds me of a kind of potato dumpling of the Czeck. Interesting.

They paved the entire place. Should have left parts of it open. Anyway, like you said, Penang is going the same way. This is not a good thing.</strong> Problem with Malacca is the lack of greenery in the city centre.Its hot,traffic snarls most of the time,prices are not good because of the southern tourists ,service is lacking and some restaurants have staff that are quite abrupt and rude.Whenever I think Malacca ,I think traffic, heat and parking.Been there kezillion times and everytime I swore never to return, but the old masochist in me pops up and off we go!I go for the history,nothing else and each time i notice traces of vandalism at the important sites.The rot has set in for almost everywhere including penang.

It is slow moving place worth visiting. Did you managed to roll along the river sidewalk - good to check if this stretch along the river is wheelchair fiendly. If I get some energy, support and some sponsorship Malaaca could be a good place for local/international conference to explore disability issues, independent living, assitive technologies and for sharing best practices. What do you think ? This has been a long overdue project in my mind for a long long time - read the 2 papers I put up at http://www.rehabasia.net. One of the few things I must do before I die <strong>Peter: I am looking forward to the project. All the best. :)</strong> Good to hear that you visted my hometown.

It's a bit hidden, but available only in the mornings. In the afternoons, the best Wan Tan Mee is in that area too (about 5 minutes away walking/wheelchairing from the Rice Balls shop. Just thought I'd give my two cents. :) <strong>Peter: Thanks for sharing. I am interested in the wan tan noodles. :)</strong> Best chicken rice balls I had were in Klang, near the KTM station.
