POST-VACATION SYNDROME? (MY TRIP AFTER I LEAVE)

-

    After the trip, I just realized that I am now in love with Melaka. There are several things that I have learned from the trip, especially their cultures, foods, history, and popularity. Before this, I heard that people here are not kind to outsiders and even to each other. Also, I often heard that Melaka’s people like to curse and use harsh words but as soon as I met some of the locals, they were so nice to me.



Besides, Melaka is very popular for its history. When I am in Melaka, I can imagine and feel the history spirit. Some places that I have visited like A Famosa and Flor de la Mar have given me a lot of information about the rise and fall of Melaka.


Overall, everything in Melaka is more wonderful than other places that I have visited. To be honest, I do not want to go back home but I have to, and I will never forget everything I went through while in Melaka.

 PULAU PERHENTIAN The beautiful Perhentian Islands are located on the northeast coast of Malaysia. The largest islands are Perhentian Kecil and Perhentian Besar, but this incredible archipelago also has several small uninhabited islands. For the adventurous, diving in the Perhentian Islands will be an unforgettable experience. The underwater experience here is impressive. If you don't want to scuba diving, consider snorkeling. There are several (short) hiking trails in Perhentian Kecil, remember to bring enough water as it is very hot and humid, especially from April to June. Located on the west side of Perhentian Kecil, Coral Bay is ideal for enjoying the sunset while enjoying a cocktail at the restaurant or bar on the beach. A place to eat fresh seafood (usually grilled). Be sure to try fresh fish during your stay. If you want to base on Perhentian Kecil, Bubu Resort is a good place to stay. In Perhentian Besar, Tuna Bay Island Resort is a good choice.

MELAKA PEOPLE!

     Usually, we all hear the first impression when someone meets a person from Melaka, we hear that they talk loud and harshly. As a human, I cannot hear a one-sided story without seeing it with my pair of eyes. The moment I spoke with one of them, I received the opposite impression which is, Melaka locals are so kind to me. At first, I thought they were only kind to tourists who came to Melaka for vacation, but they also served other locals with the same attitude.      The locals are wholehearted, which makes me feel welcomed. I could not meet a lot of locals as we are in the Covid-19 pandemic, I only met a few of them. When I visited Pantai Klebang, I could see the locals enjoying the sunset with their families. This shows they are some kind of a collectivist society which means they are so close and connected with family members.

     There are so many interesting places that we can visit at Melaka. Unfortunately, I came to Melaka during the pandemic and some of the places are closed. I visit several places but they are all memorable places for me. First, I managed to visit Samudera Museum, which exhibits a replica of Flor de la Mar with 34 metres high, 36 metres long and 8 metres wide. Next, I explored the Historical City of Melaka by gliding along Sungai Melaka with an awe-inspiring 45 minute cruise. At night, I ride the colourful trishaw around Banda Hilir.
