The first shot is of Sky Bookstore in the Padungan area. I haven't been inside the shop for many years, but when I was a schoolboy, the four places in Kuching I went for books were Kwong Hua Bookstore, Rex Bookstore, KK Abdul Majid and Sky Bookstore.
Next we have a view of St Mary's School. I'm sure some members of the Form 5 Class of 1976 had special relationships with the alumni of the aforementioned establishment ... old flames or even current spouses.
Remember Coffin Lane ? A.K.A. Kai Joo Lane. If I remember correctly, there was some well-known and delicious confectionery tidbits to be found in there ...

And finally here's a common scene in a Gambier Road shop ... pity we can't project the smells in addition to the visual details.
xxxxxxxxxx
Hope you enjoyed them.
