You know those squishy little gel-like teddy bear key chains that the kids buy at book fairs and gift shops? Well here is a family of them at a mall, standing about a meter high (taken from the bus window):
I love to look around on the MRT and see who I am riding with. Last week these were my companions: A Buddhist monk with his Columbia baseball cap that matched his robe, and the fashion model Anime girl. I couldn't get her platform patent leather boots and polka-dot tights in the shot...

a helper there said, "Here, why don't you hold one while I take YOUR photo?" How could I resist...
