Off again for ambition! Later we all went to a Chinese restoran for breakfast. "Pau" with Pork - A white dumpling thing with a pork meatball inside. Very Num-Num! We also had individual items, "dim-sum". They look like our sushi cut these are cooked and so much nicer. The seaweed is tender and does not have a harsh taste.
We then went to a temple where a ceremony, releasing the animals and the fish back to the wild, was taking place.The stone carvings were awesome! The workmanship was of such a high quality!
We went back to the house and got our stuff and had to, once again, say goodbyes to wonderful people. Justin dropped us off at the bus station to catch our bus to Melaka. It was an interesting and scenic trip also. I can't get over how pretty Malaysia is!
Arriving in Melaka just after 4:00 pm we made our way around to the Central Bus Station to catch the town bus to meet our next CS host. We left our pull-along with him at his shop and went walking around. Very much for the tourist! Prices denotes this as well!
At 9:00 pm Mr Yee brought us through to the house that we are staying in. I won't say too much other than, "Add it to the experience!"

Early this morning we went hunting for ambition. Wow we found it alright. The coffee was strong enough to put hairs on a stone wall let alone anything else.
Afetrwards we wandered further down the road and met Hassim outside his gate. He started chatting to us and then invited us into his home to chat. He is 76 years old. What a charming old man! This is what I mean about coming across something or somebody just 'cos you chose a path to take! The friendliness of this complete stranger just lifted the spirits and made us feel so good. Fantastic!!
We walked to Chinatown the long way round and nearly died from the heat! Frank reckons he now knows what Chinese torture is! It's called walking about 25 km in the Malaysian heat!
We did the tourist thing and went for a river boat ride. It was very pleasant.
Wow I managed to find an Internet Cafe to check on our emails and catch up a little on the blog. Another new experience! It only cost RM2 for an hour, R1.00!
On the way back to the house we stopped for dinner - Chichen Curry 'n Rice, Malay style! I also managed to get the recipe for Roti Changi.
Now it is time to go to sleep! Goodnight!
