My mum is on her way with dad to his childhood hometown in East Malaysia. It's a 550km drive. With rain and poor roads, they've managed to cover 350km in 8 hours. They will be there to sweep the tombs of my paternal grandparents, who I've never met.
It's currently almost 10pm in Malaysia and they're looking for a place to eat. It's reminded me of this poem by Du Mu:
清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。
借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。
A wikipedia translation:
Drizzling during Qingming,
Travellers on the road seem lifeless,
Please sir, where can I find a guest house,
A herdsboy pointing to a village afar – the Apricot Flowers.
