Papayas for sale.

RM2.20 is probably equivalent to about Euro 0.50 or US$0.65. I don’t recall exactly how much it cost when I was studying overseas, but it certainly was more than RM2.20/kg.

An antique oiler (Miri is also known as an oil town due to our rich reserves).

At the same park/playground as in yesterday’s photo – Bulatan Park (forgot to mention that yesterday), there is this really awesome looking slide.

Look at it! It’s like a UFO. Made me wish I was small enough to play on it.

I shot this at a children’s playground at one of our parks today.

I was quite amused – it seemed strange to have a giant statue of a lion stand guard over a kid’s slide.

The Visitor’s Information Centre in Miri. It is located near the main bus terminal and the tamu (market). It does not occupy a big area, but it is very well kept.

I rarely go there since, well, I don’t usually have any use for visiting the Visitor’s Information Centre, but there are always people around there. I think most of them enjoy waiting for their buses in the area.
