However, behind the walls of this conventional-looking building lies a dynamic group of Trip Advisor staff raring to create their very own terrariums. Despite the terrarium workshop spilling over into lunch time, this zealous group of hungry youths displayed their bountiful energy throughout the workshop.

From time to time, Eva’s laughter could be heard, followed by bursts of laughter from those around her. Her lively demeanor rubbed off on those around her, bringing joy to the atmosphere.
