Tourist

You know how tourist tend to take photo’s of everything and anything that they see during their travels. I have to admit I too would fall under that category but sometimes I think tourist just get carried away. I mean ya taking photos of food items like Ice Kachang, Chilli Crab and maybe even the king of fruits the Durian is to be expected together with landmark buildings and other tourist attractions but recently I was at the bus stop and saw a tourist taking pictures of the Bus Guide !! you know those that they put up to tell you the bus routes. Maybe they wanted to know where they were going or to have a record of where they were suppose to get off or maybe it’s just a novelty item that they don’t have in their country. I’ve even seen people taking pictures of lamppost and street signs, maybe the latter was justifiable.

So what was my most outrageous photo item that I took, well probably something I took more than 10 years ago and if I remember correct it was the room key. Now why in the world would anyone ever take a picture of their room key ! I don’t think anyone would even think of taking a picture of their room key. I guess at that time it was a novelty as the key tag was huge and I mean HUGE, about the size of a dinner plate. never seen such a huge key tag before.

What has got to take the cake for pictures was this group of foreign worker ho took turns posing beside the object that they all wanted to take photos with they even pointed to it and had some ‘action’ shots with it. They were quite happy to click away at the object as they took turns photographing themselves with it. I think they were using handphone cameras. So what was this object that they so greatly admired? It was your average everyday green colour rubbish bin !
