Lin has commented on my photo of the plant in Armenian Street (April 7) and thinks it is a Hyacinthus orientalis. I looked up GOOGLE and found 14,000 pictures of the species but found nothing looking like the Armenian Street plant the first 100 images I looked at. I shall have to find time to go to the Botanical Gardens and find out all about the plants that mystify me.
I see that Alex Rose’s great book on music The Rest is Noise is now a paperback which should get it the wider readership that it deserves.
My taxi driver tells me a story that explains the groups of taxi drivers found in certain locations. He says they are formed racially, Indians and Malays and Chinese in different “stands”, forming monopolies. They spend their time gambling while waiting for customers. You wont find that racialism in KL, he says.
