yeah im chuckin a sicky today to go back there :P i dont know if ill search the wild cacti across the road as its a overgrown block for a constuction company. The main garden used to be a public garden and had a nursery but not since the buddhist took over. i thought it was still a puplic garden cause there were signs to ample parking until the buddhist asked what i was doing in broken english. yeah i took a pic of a brug but a crappy pic. ill take my camera today.
