Melaka - Malaysia

Touring Melaka (Melacca) - The "Historic State" of Malay

There is something in view that resembles Japan.

 River flows through you.

Red clock tower on Dutch Square (1886). Across the road is a very nice Cendol stall to satisfy your sweet tooth :)

The experience is the form of success itself

When I first started Alibaba, I was immediately met with strong opposition from family and friends. Looking back, I realised that the biggest driving force for me then was not my confidence in the Internet and the potential it held, but more of this:  “No matter what one does, regardless of failure or success, the experience is a form of success in itself.” You have got to keep trying, and if it doesn’t work, you always can revert back to what you were doing before. - Jack Ma (link). 
Traveling is no difference. The experience itself is a form of success. Your phone may get mugged, you may get lost, but you will sure learn. So pick up your bag and hop on the next train, bus, scooter, or whatever vehicle that suits your fancy.

Tò He by Sword Lake, Hanoi on the first day of 2016

"Tò he (toy figurine) is a traditional toy for children in Vietnam which is made from glutinous rice powder in form of edible figurine such as animals, flowers or characters in folk stories.[1] In the past, tò he was made and sold only on the occasion of festivals, especially the Tết and the Trung Thu which are the favorite festivals of Vietnamese children. Nowadays, the toy is introduced in almost all traditional festivals and in public places like parks or gardens." - Wikipedia
