I’d been reading about the Photo Hunt for a while now, but never participated because I did not have a proper camera. I thought it might be fun to participate, to practice my photo taking skills, so here’s my virgin entry for this week’s theme which is “Bright”.
“Bright” here refers to the brightly coloured trishaws that ply the streets of Melaka or Malacca. They used to be a common mode of public transportation but is now mostly a tourist attraction. A 1 hour ride costs RM40 (US$12.26) which is pricey but its one of those things I guess a tourist must do in Melaka!
You know the good thing about these trishaws? They are run on man power and thus are not affected by the fuel hike…

Those trishaws are colorful.
Lovely shots. I have ridden in one of those along with many variants all over Asia.

View mine if you wish here thanks..
A beautiful and colorful shot indeed.

makes me miss home although i must say that RM40 is cheap for an hour! i remember paying like RM8 for half a KM!! scammed but it is directly manual labour…sad to think that this may die out one day.
Beautiful photo, and I want to say “welcome to Photo Hunt” too.
I went with bright colors myself….hope you can stop by. Have a super great weekend.
The word “bright” definitely was the first thing that came to mind when seeing this. Great take!

Nice vehicle… Surely youll be successfull on your photo hunting
So expensive already now? You know, I still pity those trishaw peddlers who are SO skinny, but have to carry 2 or 3 HEAVY looking passengers!
Gosh, this reminds me of my Form 5 days when mum and dad made me ride a trishaw home from school. It was a little embarrassing especially when people started calling me Ms Universe for that.
I’m back in this part of the world, PB!
Jason: Thank you!
Giddy Tigress: Oh yeah! I so know what you mean when I saw some of the people getting into the trishaws. I guess you still see them up in Penang.
Cheesey: LOL Was it in Form 5? I remember your beca man hehe… Glad you are back safe and great news about Little Monkey!
