I Visited Malaysia's Friendliest & Most Diverse City | Melaka 🇲🇾

I've been curious about Melaka for a long time from hearing about the Straits of Melaka on the news. This time I finally got to visit the city that inspired its name. From Peranakan shophouses on Jonker Street to Portuguese ruins at A Famosa and the crimson buildings of Dutch Square, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a vibrant mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European history. The best part is that the locals were SO friendly! → Timestamps: 0:00 Intro (Straits of Melaka + Melaka History) 1:16 Apartment view 1:49 Jonker Street + Roots of Chinese Community in Melaka 4:13 The Artisan Shopkeepers of Melaka 6:46 Melaka Historic Colonial Quarter 7:16 Thoughts on Diversity in Malaysia 8:00 Dutch Square 8:32 A Famosa Fortress + Hilltop 9:48 Jonker Street Night Market 11:23 Fire Station w/ Cool Graffiti 12:33 Chat w/ Grab Driver 14:43 Melaka Straits Mosque 17:00 Reflections #melaka #straitsofmelaka #melakahistory #malaysia #malaysiahistory #malaysiatravel #peranakan
