The view of the Melaka skyline from my hotel window. Melaka remains charming simply because life is simple. Shophouses are still shophouses. Hopefully, they don't get rebuilt into modern buildings without souls. Hopefully also it's UNESCO-protected status will see that it remains that way.
Really fine sketches of Melaka & Medan, Richard. Your line work has captured the fine details, and also has a nice charm. Yes, the mansion in Medan looks very much like Cheong Fatt Tze's Penang mansion - I worked in Penang in the arts college across the street from Cheong Fatt Tze for several years, and I enjoyed seeing that mansion every day.
