Near one of the dutch forts that they have in Malacca there was
this little cart thet would have originally been pulled by a horse.
They have made it into a small shelter which I think deserved a picture
and subtitle in here. |
| Althouhg this does look very drab and boring it is one
of the hang brothers graves and it's very special the five of them
were buried around different places in Malacca and I think we saw
two of them. |

This was actually on the way back from Malacca and we were just
moving into the Negri Sembilan area and the houses were mixtures of
the two styles of roof. |
| This, I thought, was amazing because I had never actually seen a
blacksmith working in the trade for real. I still do not know what
they were making but the only reason we stopped watching was because
it was about to rain. They laid the peice of red hot metal on the
anvil and took turns at hitting it with a big hammer. You could see
the huge furnace and the billows and everything that a blacksmith
has. |

This is the wonderful tinsmith where we saw people hammering at
metal sheet making all sorts of things like pots and watering cans.
It was interesting watching these raw materials being processed because
on Australia it's all done by machines in big factories. |

| These are the Becahs or trishaws (rickshaw). One very
kind driver let us have seat on his and mmmy took a picture of us
in it. It must be really boring togive people rides all over the town
all day, day after day but thats how some people arn their money.
Sometimes you would come across a becah park and you could view the
most beautiful bycicles ever. some even had umbrellas and drink holders! |
| This I thought is most red and gold I have ever seen in my life.
There were firecrackers, lanturns, wall hangings, and other miscellaneous
tasselly things. The reason for all of these celebratory things is
because it was coming up to Chinese New Year and they were stocking
up on all the things that they would need for the big celebration. |

|
This is the biggest and most amazing door latch and it was in a
shop of all these old bits of furniture and such. I can't get why
they have all of those little holder things and big horns every where
though. |
