Malacca/Meleka



PORTUGUESE MALACCA  1511-1641

http://www.colonialvoyage.com/malacca.html

This is for my fellow Blogger FF, I told her that there is a Portuguese Village in Muslim Malaysia in Malacca/Meleka. The Portuguese built a fort, and unfortunately I can't find a pix in my achives, not did I find one of the villages.

We were taken to the village just before Christmas. The Portuguese descendants light up their whole village, children and adults dress up as Santas, angels to greet the tourists. Some open their homes with juice and home baked cookies. It is quite a tourist attraction in a Muslim country.
