Old Barber...
The pictures on left is an old fashion barber shop with traditional tools and its set-up. This kind of barber shops is no longer a common thing in big cities such as in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and etc. Most hair salons are air conditioned and comfortable cushioned chairs with the latest cutting hair tools. I went to this shop to have a talk with this man in the second picture. He told me his experiences and memories of the good old days. He started his career at the age of 12! And now he's 67 years old! WOW! Earlier he has his own shop in Little India Penang than he sold it off because of unforseen circumstances. We had a great chat and I had a wonderful time sitting in this old fashion barber shop.
