I was busy all through to the end of 2016 that I was oblivious to stuff happening in Kangar. For example, I recently discovered an alley near the centre of town which had been adorned by colourful street art apparently painted by schoolchildren from all over Malaysia.
I thought I would take a couple of photos for documentation’s sake, because this must have been a really fun event for the attendees.
