Day 4: Thursday, 23rd May 2013
After lunch, I went over to the hotel and spent time with my friends updating my blog. Later that evening, my friends went out to the mall and then headed to Jonker Street at night for dinner. I on the other hand had a movie date with my boyfriend. We went to the LFS cinema in Mahkota Parade. LFS cinema is slightly cheaper than GSC cinema, the seats are more comfortable and the cinema is very spacious. It is located on the 2nd floor in Mahkota Parade right beside the game arcade.

We bought tickets for Fast and Furious 6 since it was the latest movie being showed.
The ticket costs RM11.

LFS cinema sells the best caramel popcorn for RM8.00 (big)!
The popcorn is fully covered with sweet and thick caramel. Yummy!
It was a really good movie for 2 hours and 10 minutes! Watch Fast and Furious 6 when you have the time. And if you're in Malacca, try watching movies in the LFS cinema and try the delicious sweet caramel popcorn there as well!

After the movie, we went to pick my friends who were in Jonker Street. We saw a Wesak procession going on since the next day would be Wesak Day. There were many different kinds of floats passing by as we watched. Wesak which is also known as Vesak is a traditional holy day celebrated by Buddhist all over the world. It is to celebrate the three event moments in Buddha's life which is His birth, enlightenment and death. This is also one of the most important festivals for the Buddhist people. Many people with different religions and races would watch the procession going on the street.

If you're in Melaka around this time in May, I'm sure you'll get a chance to see how the Wesak procession is like. There would be Buddhist people walking with candles, many big floats passing by, dragon and also lion dances. This is how special Malaysia is. We get to see so many cultures, traditions and celebrate many festivals here.
The taxi fare from the town itself to Jonker Street is minimal RM7 and the Panorama Bus ticket is only RM1.
This is the end of my Melaka Travelogue. I hope you enjoyed my blogs about my adventure in Melaka. Take a chance to visit Melaka because it is the most historical state with many cultures to learn about, many delicious local cuisines to try and many unique yet breathtaking landmarks to explores here. It'll be a very fantastic as well as an interesting adventure! =)
THE END OF MELAKA TRAVELOGUE!
