Malaysia Series: Tapah.

Nestled amongst the hills, close to the junction to Cameron Highlands is the small, but full of character town of Tapah. Birth town of my mother in law, we stopped by one day, took some photos and enjoyed a nice Teh Tarik at Yat Sin, a corner cafe. This is a nice example of the real Malaysia, buildings with history, where nothing has changed over the years, and the older residents walk around in the stifling heat with a beaming smile on their faces.

Shanghai Photography.

A photo taken with a Canon 550D in the back streets of Shanghai, close to the Yuyuan Garden. It was a scorchingly hot day, and this chap was nodding off under the semi-shade of his ramshackle shop front. I'm unsure as to what the store was. We had wandered off the main street, in search of a more authentic Chinese street, and found it. The smell and heat became quite overwhelming to your senses as you see the hidden example of Shanghai's residents.
