From Grits to Chopsticks

On Mother’s Day, we visited the “City of Flower” on the Northeast side of town:It’s an indoor garden, with a huge flower peacock in the center:In addition to many types of flowers, there were succulents, waterfalls,

many people taking selfies:

and some very realistic artwork: The exit of the garden becomes a French street,which leads to an antique perfumer’s shop,describing the history of fragrance extraction from Asian flowers.  The next stage in the process was a very large gift shop where you could purchase expensive perfumes, soaps, etc.

But it was Mother’s Day, so we opted for a different scent – pizza!And since it was Mother’s Day, we chose the typical “Western” pizza instead of something more suited for Asian palates (click to expand and see what’s on Pizza Hut’s menu in China):Yum yum!
