[scroll for images] I noticed the new vibe of the airport because of these. Did you know that the new Jakarta airport has art around its fire extinguishers and electrical panels?? I was very tempted to take a picture of every single one, but since I was all businessy travelly… I couldn’t go all #travelblogger!
🖼
When I first shared these on my FB, they quickly generated disagreement. The first camp agreed with me that these are super cool and made the locations more memorable. The other considered them a safety hazard because the artwork obscured the safety devices.
🧯
Which camp are you?

![This temple within Melaka’s UNESCO Heritage zone lies at the end of ‘Harmony Street’, where Tukang Emas Street merges with Tokong Street. We explored the reason why it’s called Harmony Street - there are old places of worship of various faiths sharing the same street.

Very close in the next street is a little tomb. You’d miss it if you didn’t know the significance of the name upon it. Hang Kasturi was one of the 5 legendary warriors of the ancient Malacca Empire, but even among locals he is eclipsed by his more glamourous friends, Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat. Yet, I would argue that we are actually a lot more like him than the other two, and that we would do better to embrace him in this globalised age. [blog post link in bio]

![As we did a bit of roaming around Melaka at night, I noticed this abandoned building. There seemed to be shadows that were not building shadows. Distracted, I braved myself to peer more closely (keeping a safe and sensible Asian distance).
👻
Turns out street artists have decided to paint creepy murals on the building... I guess it would be cool to explore it - but definitely in the daytime!! [swipe for zoom images]
💀
I don’t know if @pickwai_chan noticed my odd distraction. However, given the fairly vacant streets after dark, I decided not to tell her about the creepy murals. #melakastreetart #tejainmalaysia #malaccatrip #surprisemelaka #cityatnight #alternativeart #streetart #abandonedbuildings #abandonedart #unexpectedart #streetartphoto #streetartdaily #streetartgraffiti #streetarteverywhere #streetartasia #urbanphotography #urbanexplorer #exploremelaka #urbanexploring #offbeattravel #lookcloser #looktwice #ghost👻 #offbeat #unusualart #herwandertravel #curiouserandcuriouser #herwanderfullife #forthecurious #unexpectedtravel](https://www.tejaonthehorizon.com/wp-content/uploads/sb-instagram-feed-images/82980062_2612848785617381_3909908376633101799_nfull.jpg)
