Athens Day 2 night

On the second night, we were brought to a Chinese Restaurant near the East Pearl Harbour. Visit Scrumptious blog to view what we had. For your information, this trip was fully sponsored. I didn't need to pay a single cent.

The harbour has a magnificent view.

Oranges trees lined up the roadside. 
Some of my people plucked the oranges and they were perfectly sour!
But oranges that were planted at farms tasted real sweet!

    Luckily there're Chinese restaurants all around the world, but then again, our Malaysian's chinese food is still the best! ;)

    100 people at the restaurant. The operator of the restaurant must be very happy to see all of you.

    as far as i can remember, these oranges are not edible. they are picked every year by the city hall and they are used to make marmalade, liqueurs and other culinary treats.

    Interesting to note that oranges by the roads are sour as compared to orchards..ah maybe due to too much of road pollution..;).

      of course, they grow by themselves by the road without the love from the farmers, definitely they are not sweet..

      By the road side the oranges are orang-less so there is no human love, there fore no sweetness..

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
