The chatter of bargain hunters and traders permeates the air, and as far as the eye can see, stalls selling all manner of knick-knacks bear the brunt of the Sunday morning sun.

From rusty metal pipes to used shoes, clothes to perishable goods, electronics to gardening and construction tools – everything and the kitchen sink (literally) can be found here, at Ipoh’s flea market on Jalan Lim Bo Seng, right in the centre of town.
