ChinaTown, Kuala Lumpur
By garycwh
Bright lights in the bustling of a modern city twilight in the lanes with a colonial history tall buildings mark the skyline of the setting sun as nostalgia backdrops into a bargain hunt in almost a paradoxical ambience one can find in here a medley of wares testing only your unending patience as haggling is a serious affair with many stalls lined up everywhere and the crowd moving at their own pace one can almost get lost in there sieving through the temptations of the place. From names that grace the walls of the West To brands that say ‘Local is best’ From adornments laced with glittery To food, fruits and not to forget, veggies. Yet for a brief moment in time two lives are touching brought together from across the world only an acquaintance of the moment whether in anger from bargaining in frustration from haggling in joy from a good buy from the stall with the nice guy and after leaving this enchanting place they’d soon forget each other’s face. Leaving only the ware they traded As a token of the encounter that faded. Written November 21st, 2001 © on Nov 20 2001 09:59 PM PST 0 • 9
