I'm at the library, and a few feet away, this guy is playing the acoustic-guitar and singing for these little kids and their parents, cat's good, anyone would say this.  From Kuala Lumpur, I went to Melaka (Malacca), 92 miles away, by bus, had never been there. Melaka has a big-time past, the narrowest part of the Malacca Staits, it was developed by a Peranakan Sultanate in 1400 and became a very important port and center of trade until usurped by Singapore in the 1800's.
