The craft shops

At this craft site the shops were large, complex affairs with fabulous well made and interesting crafts of every sort that Malaysia produces. Some traditional. Some contemporary. I liked lots of things. But bringing a small suitcase keeps that consumer urge at bay. Then I walked into acres of colourful silks. Batiked silks. Oh the lustre. Oh the creamy weights. Oh the pure deliciousness of these fabrics in every hue from subtle to garish. I wanted to pull them all out and roll in them. After many ages, I extracted myself and walked back to the hotel with heavy memories. Wonderful.
