The infamous Jonker street in Melaka is, well, famous for a reason. There’s a lot of wares and food to be had there. Be sure to sample the ‘cendol’ and ‘laksa asam’ there.

What sucks being the one with an SLR?

  1. You end up collecting a bunch of photos - but none of them have you in it
  2. You can’t pass your camera to some stranger for a self portrait
  3. You’ll mostly end up as the free photog on any outings - which is fine until you realize issue (1)
  4. Even IF you somehow coax a stranger to take a photo of you using your SLR, forget about composition, and having correct exposure - you just *hope * the pic comes out OK
  5. Regarding (4), there’s always this nagging feeling the guy/gal will run off with a few thousand ringgit worth of gear
