finally, i went to malacca (again), just because... emm... wanna know the bus numbers and prices ;p hehehhe... so, here we go ;)
*malacca and melaka is the same word

start from puduraya bus station, KL. you need to buy a ticket there. but, BEWARE...!! puduraya so dangerous, its so crowded and beware with your belonging (bag, wallet, money, hp, etc).
you need to search "malacca" or "melaka".
price; around 9 - 11 RM (that time i bought 11RM)
schedule; almost every hour
duration; 2 hours

~ enough money
~ HP (in case your cam empty bat)
~ cloths (stay overnight)

when you reach malacca, you will arrived at melaka sentral. and its better for you to buy the return ticket ;) thats just in case.. but since last time i going there, i always saw empty seats at bus ;) hehehe..
then you should take bus or taxi to clock tower/red church/jalan gereja..
you can take bus;
num 17 (town bus) = maybe around 1RM+ (one way)
num 8 (Panorama) = 1RM (you can use it the whole day)
duration; 20 - 25 minutes (from melaka sentral - jalan gereja)
but if you take taxi, from melaka sentral to around jalan gereja there, they will charge you 15 RM (even its so near), i dont know why they operate like that.. ugh... makes tourist bankrupt @@

one of the most famous hospital at Malaysia is here... Mahkota medical center.. i don't know why, i always heard from my friends, they bring their parents to check-up in here.. not just check-up, also heard about do the operation or stayovernight, etc.. its a good choice of hospital for medical checkup or seeing doctor ;p and the price not that expensive (so thats the reason why, people like to come here)

end your holiday? hehehehe, i preferred using this bus (metrobus) because they stop near by my house ;p hehehehe... but you can choose between Delima and Metrobus.
Delima = ??RM
Metrobus = 9.4RM
and i like the situation in this area (melaka sentral), because its not like at puduraya (crowded, hot, not sure which bus you will jump-in, coz at pudu maybe you can be transfered to another -don't know which- bus)
