In a break from tradition, instead of going back to the
kampung in Pulau Pinang, we spent the Hari Raya holidays in Melaka. Why Melaka? Because there is no horrendous traffic crawl to get there and back during this festive period. (Last year we were stuck in a more than 10 hour traffic jam on the N-S highway). Also because M has never been to Melaka before. Although he would still prefer the Pulau anytime, he was vetoed. So we found ourselves on the road to Melaka in the afternoon of the first day of Raya.

In Melaka, we played tourist guides, ushering M towards the sights, sounds and smells of this UNESCO heritage city. Although this is my fifth visit to this place, I never tire repeating experiences of walking on the city streets and along the Melaka River, abound with so much history, art and culture.
