8 out of 10! I missed the childcare tragedy and the travelling gardening experts (I must look that last one up – maybe I can get them to come help me!). I always love your quizzes 🙂
We have a Japanese garden in Islamabad. It’s built beautifully but we need those experts too. I think it’s such a beautiful gesture. I don’t know about other countries but the ladies of Japanese embassy are very active in promoting cultural stuff like teaching cooking Japanese food, flower arrangement classes and cultural exchanges etc.
