Jonker Street 30-05-06

[SS19flyover]

Jonker Street, is the only place that I can wonder around for hours without feeling bored. I feel like I'm back to the 1800 every time I visit this antique street.

Try out Baba House which is located at Hereen Street beside Jonker Street. Hey!! in future we should organise trip cum photography during weekend. I have long time put aside my cameras. Plan to try out again ever since I switch career path.

Too bad, I cant share my Melaka shots here as most of it are in slides format.

[SS19flyover]

Anthony,
You can send your slides to the shop, they can scan it beautifully for you.

[Anthony]

How much would it cost for a slide??

[SS19flyover]

How much would it cost for a slide??

scan cost should be less than rm1 per slide.
but shoot slide and scan it into jpeg is a waste of time.

[aRwEn]

hmm.... can alwiz shoot in jpeg in future lorrr.... even image bankz accept jpeg formatz now, nt juz slidez.... :)

[Anthony]

Those slides I had was shot at least 10 years ago in Melaka. Some of the landscape, buildings and artifacts are not available in Melaka now. Huge difference.

I hail from Temple Street - a road parallel to Jonker Street!
Glad to see that my neighbourhood is drawing some attractions from members of USJ.com!

Balik kampung, I m gonna balik kampung!

Yah, in Jonker Walk, that's where you can jalan-jalan, makan-makan on weekends!

Welcome to my hometown, Melaka!
