After reading the last chapter of Alan de Botton's The Art of Travel, I decided to go out to the small garden outside my home. It is so small, that I didn't think there is anything interested there, but I found a lot. Look at the pictures I took!
Fu (Happiness) on my door. Red is the typical Chinese color, and he followers indicates prosperity
Buildings behind trees - typical feeling in the warm winter
Big tree at the entrance - How come I never really thought about it. If you ask me about what is the biggest tree in your garden, I may only be able to think of the smaller trees in my own garden.
