Sunrise Exports & Imports

Being right here at 16 Langer Kana Street near the Flower Market means it’s always loud and crowded. We’ve been running our export and import business from this spot for a while now. The mornings are the busiest because the flower sellers are all over the place and it’s hard to even get a scooter through the street. We deal with a lot of different items, sending things out and getting things in from other places. There’s a lot of paperwork involved, sitting at the old wooden desks under the fan. It gets humid in the afternoons, so we usually have some tea and get through the customs forms. We don't have a big corporate office with glass walls. It’s more of a functional space where boxes are stacked and the phone rings pretty often. Most of the guys working here have been with us since the start. We know the neighbors and the tea shop guy across the street. Sometimes a shipment gets delayed or there’s a problem with the transport, but that is just part of the trade. We just figure it out and keep going. Dealing with international stuff from a narrow street in the flower market is an interesting way to spend a day. We like the hustle of it. It’s not a fancy life, but it keeps us busy and the family is fed. We stay until the crates are cleared and the day is done.
