After leaving QE2, we went to Hai Nan Town. It is a cool place. No big crowds as in a disco but definitely an upper end kind of establishment but at more reasonable prices.

I have mentioned before there was a bottle of whisky waiting for us to finish in SS or Slippery Senorita. There was no way we could finish it. I mesmerized myself looking at it in dread. I then went to the wc or the gent’s room. Horrors. I realized later the wc was not in the club itself. I had no proof I was a customer. I could not go in without proof :(

Luckily we had someone who offered to show us around.

From Melaka

The trip to Melaka was an eye-opener. Melaka truly deserves its title as a heritage city. There is this sense of history as one strolls through the old quarter of the city. Of course there are the tourist traps like the crocodile farm etc etc but as locals, we avoided those.
