I received this US$1 trillion note from a US speaker highlighting sovereign debt in the US which is now over US$18 trillion. You can check the latest debt - a clever way of keeping track of it.?www.usdebtclock.org
I bought these orchids in Kiev Ukraine and our hotel maid in St Petersburg Russia kindly put them in water..... when I arrived at Sydney airport carrying them customs officials came straight for me .... and were relieved that they are not real. Artificial flowers are becoming more popular because the quality has greatly improved and stores are merchandising them much more effectively. The store in Kiev was completely full of artificial flowers and looked like a regular florist!
This florist is full of artificial flowers that look real. I first saw high quality artificial flowers at Monet's Garden outside Paris and bought some roses. On a later trip I saw a wonderful shop full of artificial flowers in Kiev and bought some more roses and orchids as well. A friend who lives in Bowral recently told me that she bought even better quality artificial flowers from this florist near her. www.countryaccentfloralboutique.com
