Ginger

Today, I was at the Singapore Botanic Gardens doing THE PROJECT. I was supposed to be a ginger expert informing people the different types of ginger and their usage. (For this project, I had to search for the information about gingers myself and the timeline was a week to master the information.)

I was given several samples of different species of ginger to display at about 8.30am. As I was arranging the gingers to fit 2 small tables, people started to gather around me, talking among themselves.

As the crowd became more curious, they finally asked me what those types of ginger were. Immediately, I told them those I knew while for the rest of the gingers, I told them I wasn’t equipped with the knowledge and the pro will only be here to explain at 9am.

Unable to satisfy their curiosity, they decided to answer their own questions by giving the unknown gingers names.

At about 9am, the pro came and gave me a quick briefing. After that, I was able to answer most of the questions posted to me by the general public. As for the people who made up their own names for those unknown gingers, few came back to find out the truth.
