Going to the market is one of my favorite things to do while on vacation. I get to meet interesting characters, I get to check out the local produce and I get to try different types of local food. On this particular day I went to Chow Kit Market which is locate in the the northern part of KL. The market was a bit rusty but definitely culturally enriched with all the vendors. The smell of raw fish and meat was very much pungent through out the market but none the less I had great time walking in and out of the crazy like maze and talking the sellers. One guy was even trying to sell me a cow's tongue. Thank you but no thanks.
The gentleman above is working on a one of kind art craft that results in wooden piece that you see below. It takes delicate hands, focus and skills to make such a piece.
I miss seeing graffiti art so when I saw this across the platform from my train stop at the hostel I was staying at I just had to snap away. Graffiti art has its way of enriching the neighborhood and city with culture and color. There's not really any graffiti art in Cambodia but I think a lot of it has to do with not having access nor the ability to openly express one's ideas and thoughts in a public and artistic manner.
