Boring town

I started the day ambling around town and found myself at the morning market.  After exploring for a short time I found my way upstairs to the food court.  As I ascended the stairs I was bombarded by the sweet smell of fresh curry being cooked.  I inhaled the welcome scents deep into my nostrils and tried to find the source.  I couldn't settle on one stall so I sat at a roti stand and ordered an egg roti with sweet black coffee.


After breakfast I did some more exploring through the market and further beyond.  I landed up in an area with a few museums.


One museum I went to was the Sultan's old palace.  It wasn't very posh for a Sultan's palace.  Quite small actually.  I saw two funny things in the palace.  One, the a palace guard was sitting at the head of a 20 seated dinner table.  He was a skinny guy reading a newspaper in his off white wife beater, uniformed shirt draped over the back of his chair.  Chuckling to myself I wondered what the Sultan would say if he saw that.


Two, wondering into the Mrs Sultan's bedroom another guard had just turned on a kettle placed on the bedside table of the royal bed.  What would she think?


The war museum was the most interesting for me.  I learned a lot about Japan's involvement during WW II in SE Asia.
