Having lived overseas for some time already, we were all eager to go back and catch up with friends and relatives. This was during Chinese New Year, too, a time when we celebrate, have parties and eat! At the same time, I was also glad that we had a couple of days to rest and settle in before visiting our relatives in Melaka.

The statue of Datuk Dr Gan Boon Leong at Melaka's Jonker Street is good landmark for visitors exploring the area. For a breathtaking view of the Strait of Malacca, climb up to St Paul’s church. Inside the ruins, you will find well-preserved engraved tombstones, while outside, a statue commemorates St Francis Xavier, a renowned Catholic missionary in South-East Asia.Another main attraction of the trip was the Melaka Butterfly & Reptile Sanctuary, offering a variety of wildlife to admire. From stunning birds to deadly snakes, this is the place for all wildlife enthusiasts.
