It only comes once a year and it's quit big in China.
VALENTINE'S DAY.
I got flowers. Roses.
( I only think I received flowers because Li was buying some for his wife so I think Luca thought he should buy some too... He assures me that wasn't true...)
The Roses are beautiful, but like everything in China everything is over worked.
When you buy biscuits. They are wrapped in groups of 6 and then those packs are then packed in groups of 4. Even the toilet paper rolls are individually wrapped and then put in bags of 12 or 24. The lollies are all individually wrapped and then they are wrapped with foil and then wrapped in the outside wrapper...
The roses are the same. All of the leaves are stripped from the rose. It's then wrapped in netting, then in crepe paper and then grouped together with more paper, cellophane and more paper.
So much work. They are very pretty.

I understand the individual wrap for lolies and toilet paper is good for the hygine reasons. But for roses, that's definitely an overdo! I think the natural look of roses with leaves is more beautiful, isn't it?! How did the roses survive w
ithout leaves? Were they last longer in a vase?
