Getting Around Malacca

Colorfully and Loudly
Seemed to me the coolest way to get around Malacca is on one of the many colorful rickshaws. They are side-loaded, with the passengers next to the driver. Underneath the passenger seat is a boom box which is used to blasting effect.


Here's a crew on the way to work in the morning. Yellowed-up, flowered-out and umbrella-d.

This cabbie had two passengers. They flew by like a rainbowed blur, splashing house music onto me.

I'm telling you Josh, you should be a travel writer in your next (work) life, whenever that is! Terrific photos, themes, and info. I really enjoy reading your stuff. And I am NOT prejudiced.

Mom, thanks for the kind words. But, you are, ummmm, a tad prejudiced.....

Glad you're enjoying the ride - I'm having a blast.
