Mr cobbler

I had to put this picture up. I took it in Miri. Yeah,...i'm a regular.

This guy is an honest-to-goodness old fashioned cobbler. er...he fixes shoes. He sits there on the sidewalk, six days a week, waiting for customers to drop off shoes for him to fix. And he does. Fixes them beautifully. I sat nearby watching him, and his customers keep coming by. Some sat next to him as he does a quick fix on their shoes, on the spot. Others drop plastic bags full of shoes for him to fix.


In Brunei, i can think of only two places that do this..fix shoes. One in Berakas (rah ji Diamond..hehe..nda tau ada lagi ka) n the other rah kadai si Luis (nya orang jua tu lah). I have tried neither. But i have loads of shoes that need fixing. maybe one of these days...
