Gourd

Calabash or bottle gourds (Lagenaria siceraria) selled on night market in Kuching. It's almost 2am when we visited the market for some vegetables. I like the shape which reminds me on one my father has at home. My father one's made from the mature, dried calabash. Because of it hard woody shell, it usually uses as a water container, but, in my father case, it is used to keep arak (rice wine).

totems

India St. is one of the most visited place in Kuching, Malaysia. It likes Malioboro in Yogyakarta, Indonesia but without the vehicles traffic. We can buy many kinds of fabrics and clothes here. In this busy street, people walk through without noticing these two totems standing on the edge of the street covered by palm leaves.
