2. Overview
Space and people is a theme that very much shows a particular culture and
civilization from its perspective view through photography of a certain
area. The chosen location is located at Jonker Street, Malacca. Jonker Walk
is only active during the night and night activities are more of a trend
over there. You’re more likely to find it much more crowded and rowdy on
Fridays and weekend. Not to mention the flavourful culture you get when
you visit there, a sense of non verbal and a warm welcoming experience
you’ll receive.

4. Jonker Street of Malacca
Exploring the streets of Malacca, I’ve noticed the characteristics
of the space and of the people there. Crowded with unfamiliar
people and seeing new faces, little by little you’ll get the feel as
you visit a magnificent place like this in Malacca, covered with
various culture. Local and tourist can be seen on Jonker streets,
shopping and bargaining for cheap items, shop for antiques
there.
5. We live in a world where people enjoy themselves more
when spend with their loves one in a particular given
space.
8. “It’s hard to beat a person who
never gives up.”
