It's spring at the garden centres



The bed of tulips brighten up the otherwise cloudy day


The air was shattered by this kid here who was acting like 
quite the spoilt brat. One minute, she wanted to feed the cat , 
next she held back. It went on and on, with her screaming and in tears, but from what I've seen elsewhere ( well , at least in public ), most middle eastern moms, never hit their children. No. 

When tantrums come up, they counter the misbehaviour by kissing them continuously and laughing it over. So darned patient compared to us .But back home, the way this little terror was going on, she'll get a sound public thrashing or be roughly manhandled ,yes, by their moms. We do, have a lot to learn from their way gentle , most loving way of parenting.


Anyway, I move on down because hey, it's spring, so let's check out the garden centres and see the what's on sale.
Somewhat similar to Korea, as spring arrives, chilli plants are most sought after


Plantling with root exposed ,can actually survive this treatment long enough for a buyer to come pick it up for replanting ? 
If this were Malaysia they'd be withered already. Don't even think of reviving them.


In case you want to see it for yourself, just look out for this landmark which is between the New Mosque and the Egyptian Bazaar



Location : New Mosque square
