Meandering steps took me to a place where many people came and went. Some shops stood by the roadside. During walking, it transpired that I had to stop. I found a man sitting on the edge of the sidewalk. The man was unique in his own way. And I couldn't pass by him with doing nothing. So I stopped in front of him.

At the first face, he just sat in an absent-minded way. Look closely, I found his nostril was filled with a small flower. I didn't know why he did that. And I have never heard about the such customs. Maybe it was a kind of curse for him. Anyway, he didn't change his expression when I asked him for taking some photos. He looked into the distance blankly during I focused on him.
