International Orchid Festival

Eeeeeee!!!! I had to go this year since it will likely be my last opportunity. It was spectacular! Held annually at the Tropical Dream Center located within the Ocean Expo Park near the Churaumi Aquarium, this festival is an orchid lover's dream. Not only do they have the orchids displayed from competitors in three divisions but also orchids to buy, orchids for decoration, and well... more orchids! (This explains why they have orchids in the air terminal) I took many pictures before we even went into the building... here are a few.










And Coryn on the Japanese payphone. He did really well while we spent 2+ hours looking at flowers. Often taking pictures... some of which actually turned out.
