Ipoh Old Town

Bus Terminal

f/3.8, 1/30 s, Nikon D80

Snapped this while on walkabout in Ipoh's Old Town. Ipoh is a city full of character - character here meaning it is full of crumbling and rotting bits. If we ever were to market this properly, this would make a really good tourist attraction, no kidding. Food's comparable to Penang in quality, although Penang still aces it in terms of quantity.

Place: Morib

Fishing
f/4, 1/500s, Nikon D80

On first look, this man appears to be just one of the many coastal fishermen you see along Malaysia's beaches. But look carefully -- there is a shoe somewhere in the sea ... and that's what he's actually fishing for! How did that shoe get into the sea in the first place -- remains a mystery !

He's really fishing for his child's (not in picture) shoe, which has dropped in somehow into the Morib sea. Using a borrowed rod from one of the fisherman, I doubt he would have succeeded in fishing the shoe out - those images of fishing lines snagging up old boots are probably stuff you really just see in cartoon strips !
