A loving stroll down memory lane in the area where the author grew up as a young boy. He covers the sights, sounds and smell of the area in the 1950s and 1960s. He also gives a general historical background of the area and its relevance to Kuala Lumpur. He is definitely proud of the area and still keeps in touch with some of his old acquaintances. The last few chapters also highlight the changes since the last few years and how the old characteristics of the area may soon disappear permanently.
