This week I made a trip to Arab Street.  I'm aiming for colours, bright and vivid.













The shop owner of the rattan shop is really something. He demanded to know how many photos I intended to take of his shop front. When I glared at him, he said, "You are only allowed three photos!"  What a pleasant fellow!
