At Canterbury

We spent most of the time in Canterbury visiting mainly charity shops which I discovered this time that they have some nice collections of CDs which were normally given away with the daily newspapers. Donated by well-wishers, the shops sell them at 20p or 30p though shops in York sell them at 50p. Besides some old songs and tunes which I have been looking for like, Many rivers to cross and I can see clearly now by Jimmy Cliff, Albatross by Fleetwood Mac, Touch me in the morning by Diana Ross, Save your love by Renato and Renee, I feel good by James Brown, All right now, and many more which by the time we were ready to pack, I have collected almost 50! I bought one on It ain’t half hot mum with episode titled ‘Road to Jannu’. Later I regretted for not buying a CD teaching French when we reached Paris.

SP enjoyed looking at old collectibles but this time with having to bring along a 3-year old child on our return journey, she had to restrict herself. We had to forget about buying the almost routine duty-free alcohol or cigarettes or chocolates. I was quite hurt when the girl at our local telecommunications shop asked even jokingly of why no chocolates for them. If only they knew that by the time we came through the Customs check, it was already almost 1am. Jun’s grandma had already arranged for his son to take us back to PJ for the night. Though I planned to get up early to catch the LRT before the working crowd, I woke up at 11.30am! We had to go to Puduraya to catch a bus back to Ipoh, so our luggage bags remain in PJ until our next visit.
