My host was interested in conservation and mentioned snakes. I expressed an interest and the next day there were 2 cobras, 1 viper and another very poisonous snake at my host's home that I could encounter first hand.

I expressed an interest in flowers, therefore, a quick detour was made to a greenhouse which contained roses in full flush. Within a couple of hours they were scheduled to be cut for the Valentine market. The farmer would receive 10-30 cents per stem based on the length. Everyone, has been so kind and accommodating of our every whim.
