Visit to the Flower Market

Friday night we went to China Town and then to the flower market. The visit to the flower market became an educational experience :) I was the only guy there with four girls and they decided it was best to give me a lesson on on buying flowers to win a girls heart :) The most important tips that I was given was... its better be roses and that the number counts. So for those who want to catch on that means the single red rose is not enough... if you really wanna go at it ... buy a big bunch !!!

Though I certainly had no idea of buying flowers it was requested :P that I buy some flowers. Their idea was that since I was meeting this Sri Lankan lady the next day I should give her flowers. ( certainly not gonna happen :) I certainly didnt want a huge bunch of roses with which I didnt know what to even do with...looking around I noticed some lovely Kandian Dancers ( as we call them in Sri Lanka) and as these were something I knew was more than happy to have settle for them.

I was the designated cameramen for the visit and just love this picture that I got of Joannah smiling with her roses in hand and with a big sunflower on the foreground.

The next week I had the opportunity to put into practice what I learned from the visit to the flower market as one of the interns in Thailand had her birthday. So my pick pick for a gift was some roses. I really had no clue what to get and the flower tip was the only thing I could think of ... thnx girls!!!
