WADING THROUGH FLOWERS IN LISSE, THE NETHERLANDS, MAY 6, 2010. Shailaja Sreenivas, 30, a homemaker from Bangalore, India, wheels a rented bike through the vast tulip fields of Keukenhof Gardens. ''My husband is working in Amsterdam for an IT company, so we came here together in January 2009, and we'll be here until October. I have a master's in computer education, but I really prefer doing creative things. For instance, most of the places we go are very scenic, beautiful places, and I love taking scenic pictures wherever we travel. Keukenhof is one of my favorite places I have ever been, a real feast for the eyes. I love flowers so much, when I first went into the garden -- it's so amazing, so beautiful, I actually shouted. In my childhood, I had dreamed of seeing a place like this. I'd never seen so many flowers in one place -- it took us almost 30 minutes to cover one or two gardens there. It looked like an ocean of flowers.'' As told to Austin Considine [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
