Freewrite Day 418 My Front Door

I had a very interesting front door in the condo I just moved away from last month. This is in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. THe front door was actually two doors with two different keys to get in. I’m showing you the keys in the first door in my poster above.

The key in the lock is a skeleton key like I have only seen in movies before this. It was very hard for me to turn with my arthritic hands. I had to pay attention not to hurt myself.

The door would not stay closed unless it was locked, and wanted to swing open while I was trying to work this thing. But I still loved this key.

My first door was not really a door. It was a gate.

As you see the gate opens into an atrium where you take off your outdoor shoes and then walk barefoot in the house if you are Malaysian and healthy.

If like me, you cannot walk on your bare feet, this is the place you keep the filp flops you wear in the main part of the condo. Then you have different flip flops for the bedroom, and the bathroom, and the balcony, so all the dirt and water of those various places stays where it is.

The Malaysian ladies in my condo had separate flip flops for the bathroom and balcony, but they share them! I had to get my own, because I have big Canadian feet. Their flip flops are child sized. My feet are big lumps of deformity.

The whole thing was very confusing when I first got here, but now, in my new place I still have outdoor shoes, main room flip flops, bedroom flip flops, bathroom flip flops, and balcony flip flops. I need another pair so I can wear them outside to go to the pool.

You should see me – kicking flip flops and shoes on and off all day like a champ!
