Malacca, Malaysia

February is all about the number two, and 2/22 is a palindrome too! The Dutch took Malacca from the Portuguese in the 1600s. To commemorate that era, the city has built a Dutch windmill. It seems to be a rare case, at least in Asia, of post-colonial history proudly incorporating colonial themes. Be sure to see tomorrow's post. [2011]
