Melacca: Old Quarter

These are some pics of the Old Quarter in Melacca, Malaysia. These were taken during the Southeast Asian Immersion trip in January 2007.








Check out the rickshaw (aka "xe loi"). Each rickshaw driver has to take classes for six months to be licensed to drive these carriages in the Old Quarter. The incredible creativity of each driver is displayed in the designs of their rickshaws. Some have fake flowers, some have ribbons and some even have radios and music players blaring different types of music. Each one has its own character, color, and flair. Tuyet!!
