It has more than 15,000 stalls at Chatuchak covering all types of clothing, souveniers, thai craft, delicacies and etc.
My experince in Chatuchak was an excellent memories. I'm able to try a dessert which i wouldn't find in Malaysia. It is a scoop of coconut ice-cream with peanuts in the coconut shell. It was also come with a cup of chilled coconut milk. The price was so reasoanable, it is about RM2.50 per serving. Another thing that atrracted my interest was the shirts. The t-shirts there were sold in cheap price with good qualities. The design was great and fashionable. Besides that, I was also managed to buy some nice souveniers as a present for my family and friends.
Apart from that, another intesting part was the bargaining time. Good skills of bargaining makes me save a lot. It can always be bargained up to 30% or 40% of the original prices. I have spent more then six hours shopping in Chatuchak and finally i was back with a handful of unique and worthy goods.

"It is old and full of historical elements". This is the first impression towards Malacca, no matter from a Malaysian or a tourist eyes. Malacca was made popular by its historical buildings, cultural and traditions. Sure, all these were the attractions which managed to attract the tourists to visit Malacca.
After i spent my half day in Malacca, i found out that Malacca is not just well known for its historical but it is also relaxable town to live or to visit. The citizens of Malacca were lived leisurely without the busy and noisy lifestyle like Kuala Lumpur. They can maintain their livelihood by selling some traditional handcraft, traditional food or they may perform their talent and skills at the corner of the street. Most of them were boss, and they are the boss of their own. Another main occupation for Malacca citizens is the tricycle. It is the landmark of Malacca. All the tricycle were decorated nicely and elegantly with different colour of flowers.
Imagine that you are riding a tricycle with the one you love and you will enjoy the scenery along the road. You may have chicken rice for lunch and cendol as dessert. After whole day sightseeing, you may sit on the beach and enjoy the warmest sunset with the accompanied by the Eye on Malaysia. This is the one and only place you can find in Malaysia. It is Malacca.
