Melaka, Malaysia
The world is a canvas: A few buildings like this, in Malacca were an artist's canvas...
Found this great Chinese medicine shop while taking a self guided tour around Melaka on my bicycle. Along with tons of herbal remedies, they also carried some western stuff too. The shop keepers were very friendly and helpful as well.
Rent a bike and cruise around Melaka! Check out all the little side streets for an array of fun colors and decorative homes and buildings!
"THE ORANGUTAN HOUSE was established in 1992 as the studio-gallery of Charles CHAM in Malacca, Malaysia. Today, it is one of the most recognisable buildings in Malacca and a must-see for all who visit this World Heritage City." -- https://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-ORANGUTAN-HOUSE/270362069913
