::world::

you're excited. you have the whole world within your footprint. well, in this matter it's really just about the various countries showcase in floriade. literally next to one another, you are hopping from one country to another, one continent to another continent, within an hour you explored the countries that participating in the expo.
 it starts with the hill of israel with its seven species - grape, pomegranate, olive, fig and a couple that you couldn't recall anymore...
 the grape of israel with the house of holland at the backdrop....
the orange house, the house of lowland showcasing the tulip plantation methods and others
 the house of slovakia
 quite a charming folklore country house


 and a country landscape where you posed for a photo. a kind gentleman offered to take this photo for you.

 the colorful house of indonesia
 the house of italy, showcasing their wine and olive
 house of spain, showcasing their food and port wine
 house of belgium, showcasing their beers and a beautifully cultured rooftop flower patch

and colorful flower patch
 house of amazon, a red indian lady playing the musical instrument
house of tunisia, showcasing their ceramic works
and their beautiful lamps for sale...
the house of bulgaria showcasing their rose garden and their rose related products
house of korea, rather sombre and almost not a house but you love the way they present the flower borders using the recycle item. the flower petals roof and stools representing the traditional culture of korea and the recycle border represent the post modern korea... a contrast that worth ponder upon
the house of burma or nepal, you have forgotten but the red temple like house is quite eye catching only you didn't enter because it's the house that full of images and idols. in reality, there are other houses that you skipped, skip because those houses of sri lanka and india almost resemble their temples with images of their believes.
it's really a nice excursion where you are blessed with a very sunny and pleasant late summer or early autumn temperature.
