My mind is still on Ipoh, Malaysia. Loving Husband’s parents hailed from there and we look forward to visiting remaining family at least once a year. We are always very delighted by the street art we encounter.
This mural is particularly funny as parking in Ipoh Old Town is a hit & miss proposition at peak hours.

This post is my contribution to Monday Mural hosted by Sami at ColourfulWorld.

Terrific street art, Ju-Lyn – letās just hope the cars are not parked in such a ramshackle manner! š Street art has the great ability to surprise us, wake emotions when often we are on autopilot, trigger memories!

Thanks so much Annika!
I love outdoor art. And you’re absolutely right about the surprises street art brings us – one of the reasons I find it so engaging! It’s just the thrill of rounding the corner and ta da!

Great photo and what a mural. It reminds me of how little I liked having a car – especially in the city. I remember our first night in Toronto back in 2004. We had just arrived from the US in the evening and I thought “Oh hey, we’re in a city – let’s drive around and find somewhere interesting to eat.” Drive we did but an hour later we hadn’t found decent parking and the traffic was horrible. We drove back home and got some (relatively boring) food from the restaurant next door. Two weeks later I drove our car for the last time and we gave it away to charity. We haven’t owned one since.

I hear you and I really admire your decision to do without a car. Driving around and around and around in search of a parking spot really is no fun.

I know! I really hated that. I haven’t owned a car in 17 years and it’s only recently that I stopped having dreams about forgetting where I parked! I love now that I don’t have to think about that – and any surprise expense that comes up can never be more than the price of a complete bicycle (assuming it’s stolen – usually repairs are MUCH cheaper) – which in the mid-range is the price of a mid-range car repair or the replacement of four tires. So I never have that sinking feeling of “What’s that (sound or smell) coming from the car? What’s going to go wrong now and what will it cost?”

This made me laugh, and I made my husband get up from the couch to see it!
Toronto can be like that to park, but not now, as we are in a lockdown.

You made my morning, Jackie – the image of you & your husband poring over this mural!
It is no fun at all endlessly circling in search of a parking spot. Our traffic situation was a dream during lockdown – but we didn’t really go anywhere, so well ….

Agreed! Street art does bring an element of fun to the neighbourhood!
And yes, isn’t it funny how the mural captures so much of the angst we experience trying to park in cities?
