Melaka

I've just arrived in Melaka.

Yesterday after the ladyboy encounter I eventually returned back to the hostel and a guy from Romania had arrived, so the ladyboy had turned her attention to him. She pulled the same move on him.

"How tall are you?
Oh so tall.
Stand up.
Look how much taller you are!"
*thrusts bum backwards*

I saw it coming though, pardon the pun. Mihai (the new guy) thought s/he was a she, so didn't dodge in time. I took great pleasure telling him the she was a ladyboy. Naive bastard.

Last night was terrible. Johor Bahru is a true dump. Most of the people at the hostel were older men that live there and commute to Singapore for work. The ladyboy was definitely a working girl. S/he went out at 11am. I woke up at 5am and there was a weird dude in our room professing his love for the ladyboy.  Crikey, you wouldn't read about it.

I've only come through Melaka to the hostel but it is already infinitely better. It's Chinese New Years Eve but I think that is a bit like our Christmas Eve rather than our new years eve. I'm about to head out anyway as the hostel is right in the middle of China Town. Is there anywhere without a China Town? I reckon they probably even have China Towns inside Chinese towns.

The picture is the only one I have of Melaka so far.
