A Walk Down the Memory Lane

Last Sunday, I got the opportunity to walk down the Memory Lane, Ipoh with my good Catholic friend, Bismo after church. I never actually had the chance to explore the streets of Ipoh, so it was a fun experience indeed.

Bismo has been studying in UTP for three years now (He's originally from Jakarta) and he's very familiar with the roads in Ipoh. That's why he introduced me to the place, which looks pretty similar to Gaya Street back in my state. You can find people selling drinks, food, clothes, shoes, rare items in the pawn shops and many more.

I'm not really good with street photography. Capturing cultures and lifestyle in photos proves to be a tougher challenge, at least for me. However, I did manage to learn some tricks from Bismo. Do feel free to leave your comments. Well, enough said, enjoy the pictures =)
