I took these shots of a baby yamakakashi in the same spot, about 6 years ago. Now knowing about all that poison and venom I probably shouldn't have had my hand so close.

Found this 1971 photo of the Malacca seafront with Glutton's Corner the row of stalls by the sea to the right. The stalls were still there when I visited ~1985 (?) but there was a building site instead of the sea. Now it's a shopping mall - don't know about the stalls.

Dilbert: Yesterday someone disagreed with me, and I changed his mind using data and reason.

Wally: That isn't possible.

D: I didn't think so either, but it happened.

W: Smells like a trap.

D: I couldn't sleep all night.

Anyone in #Nagoya, there's a nice little bar in Gokiso called Nanya where we'll be playing some nostalgic old songs on 15th March. Should be fun!
"Natsu Mero Evening" at Nanya in Gokiso, Nagoya from "Zatsu Music".
Nostalgic 60s and 70s songs, no live charge (but a hat).
Saturday 15th March
