During our visit in Melaka, my bestfriend did the research about this Mosque which can be found along the Straits of Melaka. I hindered my itch to go online just to research about this “Fairytale” like Mosque. I hindered everything I could possibly research online because I want to experience that kind of feeling where I am really lost and I just want to see the places for the first time thru my bare eyes not just thru pictures.For everybody’s information Melaka is a small city located in Malaysia. It is 2 hours and 20 minutes from Malaysia by Delima bus. We hopped on a bus during night time so I did not have the luxury to go sightseeing but I bet it had a good sense of green. A whole lot of nature was out there.For tourist, I suggest that you book using an app called Grab Car because taxi is waaaay too expensive (they might add some additional fees ) because it is located in a secluded place.Melaka Strait Mosque referred to many as the Floating Mosque. I bet its other name was derived by its nature to appear as floating during sunset ,sunrise or foggy days.It is located in an island called Pulau Melaka. The island itself is man-made. It was built only in 2006. Not that historical compared to other touristy places in the area but it is still worth a visit.Honestly, the moment I saw the Mosque, I fell in love. I do fall in love easily specially with places. The structure of the Mosque is very complex. You can see that the curves were perfectly shaped to a certain degree. Colorful rounded or ellipse covers the Mosque or I would have rather say its roof. It is unlike any other Mosque that I have seen. The outside floor is a combination of red and grayish color.I wish I have seen the inner structure. I was tired actually from the heat of the sun.
