Malacca, July 23

We arrived in the historic city of Malacca and were hosted by Dr. Francis Yip. We found out that the sanctuary in Malacca Wesley also had pretty good acoustics. We were visiting when it was also Youth Sunday so they were in charge of the worship service as far as all the music was concerned.
Our hotel was in the historic district and it was quite an experience to walk around that area. We saw an iguana swimming in the river and I guess, it probably thinks of the vehicles that pass by as its lunch cart. There was a night market in the next street and they sold some pretty interesting items.

Dinner party and informal performance at Dr. Yip's home.



Mr. & Mrs. Taylor presented with a painting by Malaysian artist, Jehan Chan. A gift from Francis and Gillian Yip.

We had an unfortunate event in Malacca. Our borrowed Merc had a window that was smashed and a document folder was taken. However, nothing of value was stolen and we had to deal with a slight inconvenience of replacing the window. Then, on the 24th we were off to Penang Island.
