Clog Factory

It was indeed an experience to visit a clog factory in Amsterdam.

Tourists love to take picture of this large yellow clog in front of the factory.

    it's almost a ritual, isn't it - a trip to amsterdam is never complete without a visit to a clog factory or a picture taken with a windmill?

    Are the big clogs mostly yellow? I took a photo of a friend when we were there, and I just remembered that it was also yellow. Maybe it's the same clog!

    What a lovely post...and nice photos...reminds me of the old Char Kiat of the Nyonyas...I used to wear them (not the wooden clogs) although a pair of wooden Scholls lasted me for ages...Great memories.

    Didnt buy the clogs home too hard to wear and not comfortable. Bought only clog key chains.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
