Roses
Kuching, Malaysia.
I have less than a day left in Kuching. Finally, some shops have gingerly opened their doors for business, and I am indulging in some last-minute shopping. Not as much as I would have liked, unfortunately.
Yesterday, and also the day before, small stalls cropped up by roadsides everywhere, selling pink heart-shaped balloons and overpriced long-stemmed roses. The eager sellers stood under big golf umbrellas, waving their precious flowers at drivers who were probably more concerned with keeping their cars on the roads in the heavy, unrelenting rain.
