What to see in Melaka?

It's historical, cultural and natural attraction you can see the old structures built for may years. Just a 2 hour bus ride from Kuala Lumpur, it's part of our DIY itinerary and spent the whole day touring the place, not quite expensive but in return exploring and learning is a good investment indeed.
Here are some of the places we've visited.

The famous Jonker Street, it's not like an ordinary flea market, it was definitely different. The place are varied from clothing shops, souvenirs, antiques shops and traditional foods. You can find good buys, when i say good buys cheap ones, for "pasalubongs".
