In the kampungs or remote areas outside Kuching town, you don’t go to the supermarket, the supermarket comes to you! In the form of a van packed to the hilt with all the food stuffs you expect to find in a supermarket.

I spotted this van at Bengoh where we went kayaking on Saturday. This is the first time I had seen a van with this much variety of fresh food and vegetables.

Even in the housing estates in Kuching, you still get these vans selling dry goods, vegetables, meat, fish and all kinds of food stuffs; going around and from the numbers of them that I had spotted, they must be quite popular with the residents. They had been around since I was a little kid.

The prices are higher than those at the normal shops or markets but you sure can’t beat the convenience. That’s why I call them convenience vans! And now everyone can shop! How I wished Chinese New Year shopping would be that convenient! Off to face the traffic jams later in the evening! *sigh*
