The Shops of Ipoh, Malaysia

Ipoh is the capital city of the Perak state and is situated in the upper part of the peninsula of Malaysia.  It is known as the gateway to the Cameron Highlands which I unfortunately didn’t visit. It has a population of at least 650.000 making it the third largest city of Malaysia.

When I was in Ipoh, Malaysia, the first thing that struck me were the great shops. They are different then the kind I am use to. They all seem to have outside curtains. They have them ofcourse to provide some shade in the shops and keep out the heat. But they provide the best place to get your advertisment.

I love the creativity some had to made it clear where their shop was all about!!

But when I walked on I saw all these pictures too. It seems to me that they just like to make pictures out of everything they offer 🙂
