There was a time when I wondered about our National Museum.  Where it is, what's in there, etc.  You see, most countries that I have been to have a national museum that is really well designed, well thought of, and contains great items, etc.  Say for example, the National Museum of South Korea which is a multi-story structure and contains antique items, archaeological finds, and other items that tell about the history of Korea.  And every day, guests and tourist flock there.  Which shows that people are willing to pay for a well-maintained, educational and informative museum .        The "Tree of Life" is the centerpiece of the main lobby  that welcomes guests to the museum    So imagine my delight when finally, we have a world-class National Museum that we can be proud of, and not just one, but four types that feature different themes:   Our National Museum is actually a complex consisting of The National Museum of Fine Arts, National Museum of Anthropol

Ambiance :  Stepping inside Le Fleur Cafe is virtually like stepping inside a forest of flowers that give guests a refreshing and relaxing feeling.    Flowers cascade from up the ceiling like an inverted garden, in colors that are vibrant and alive.   Aside from the attractive hanging flowers, ornamental plants are also tastefully arranged around the cafe, completing the elegance and stylish appeal of the interiors.   One can tell that the design inside was very well thought of.    Around the walls are inspiring messages that encourage people to think positively while sipping and savoring the aroma of their favorite coffee, tea or what-have-you.  Whatever state you are in upon getting inside, you will surely be a changed individual after reading the inspiring and encouraging messages around you.  During quite hours, it's great to simply just take in the words of wisdom around you and contemplate on them.                   Photo by the couch and message board area
