The first impression of Melaka is that of a small quiet town where the locals can smell the non-locals from afar. First cultural shock, “Registered taxis do not have meters. Only free-lance taxis do”. So I am told by the security guard look-alike standing at the taxi registeration counter right inside Melaka Sentral station. The best part of this taxi ride, however, is to find out that the taxi driver is 70 years of age and this job is his hobby.
