Melaka: Front/Back/Inside

In Singapore shophouses are just a name and intricate facade
Melaka reminds me otherwise.
Because everything else is so much more.
Why shophouses aren't just pretty faces.

As "lonely planet endorsed" as this place sounds ,it's really chillax with its cheap ice cream and laid back atmosphere and it plays light stuff which i like to have while reading.

Melaka Shophouses - Backalleys, originally uploaded by jonolist.

And this reminds me why walking into backalleys and rear entrances are fun. Because you'll stumble upon the whimsical colours and juxtapositions that we sometimes never notice.
