On our way to George Town, the historic district of this former British colony, we walked past a good many shophouses, each one devoted to a specific product--eggs, milk, brushes, rice, paint, etc. The owners are often the last of their kind as their children have moved on to higher-paying jobs elsewhere and their business is slowly overtaken by corporate warehouses. It is a little sad to think this may be the end.
While the owner's away, the cat will...man the store?
