Picture of the day… Chinatown Kuala Lumpur

By the early evening the streets of Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown have turned from a politely busy scene of Chinese restaurants and coffee stalls into a full sensory assault of neon lights, market stalls and street hawkers. Constant calls from sellers to grab your attention… “Hey boss, looking. Very cheap price for you” and the overwhelming amount of smells drifting across your path can make it all seem a little confusing at times, but solace is never too far away. Behind the busy stalls dripping with fake designer goods sits many quiet, cheap and authentic Chinese restaurants, most tourists don’t venture in and instead choose to sit out amongst the throngs of passing people at the more “tourist friendly” places where waiters double as touts that get you in, get you fed and get you out as quickly as possible.

While eating out one night watching the world pass by and enjoying some of the amazing food on offer in KL I noticed a hawker making his way along the street side restaurants filled with tourists, he was selling small furry puppets and every person that showed the slightest interest got a small puppet show right at their table.
