Two well groomed and well-behaved pupils.
This really is collector's delight. Enjoy.
It's perhaps an occasion to direct you towards some more caps? Time to kill the euphoria. Read on. |

| The most common children's signs of Malaysia are related to those
of neighbour Thailand — both are of the new
world kind — but are improved slightly.
Unlike in Thailand there is no clear bias against women. The man is only a head taller. Notice also that our people here have their head firmly on the neck. And that they are not walking between lines. |
Our finds illustrate two scenes of the daily street life.
At the left we're looking at a couple walking. At the right it's more
as if the man did stop in his tracks and is holding the woman back. They are waiting
for a chance to reach the other side of the road safely.
(Notice the male's head: really sloppy drawing.) |
