Each time we recommend friends to Melaka, they respond along this Cantonese line "mou yeh tai...mou yeh cho". This blog is to highlight the many "hidden sites" of Melaka primarily and of the rest of Malaysia and the world in general. To do so, we would need a new way of seeing things; through interactive exploration. It is this that inspired the term EXPLORAQUEST and its theme "It's A Quest Of Scenic And Sensory Delights".
