Asian

From Beijing to Borneo, from Kathmandu to Cambodia, from the serenity of a Japanese ornamental garden to the wild ride of a many-legged dragon coursing through the crowded streets of Kowloon, the exotic east is at your door. A plush Emperor’s rickshaw, a food cart ready to create spicy dishes, elaborately carved screens and large oriental fans and umbrellas evoke the hot and humming atmosphere of the teaming cities and rural villages. Scenes from the industrious rice paddies and giant sifters and coolie hats bring you to the calm unhurried lands steeped in tradition. Smiling Buddhas and Balinese shadow puppets sit and pose in an elegant state of enlightened grace.
