National Museum Trip

Its really interesting looking back at out worlds history from how the world first started out as and how we developed into the modern day time now with all the technology, although everything is briefly skimmed throughout the trip, but it was still quite enjoyable.

What catches my eye during the trip is how the currency developed and what were they made from at first. They had to find Tin and even find someone to shape it, to be usable. and how it developed from shapes like those to just paper thin modern day money.

Another thing that interest me is the spices that they use can be traded as equal to one unit of gold in those days and how were they imported to and from places.

There's also the interesting Baba nyona culture, how they merge with the chinese and malay culture, to create a mesh of both worlds and how they preserved their traditions for years, even much better than us nowadays. The colors of these both different culture mixing together is not easy to find nowadays.
