Chinese Sense Of Smell

http://wildgirlwildworld.blogspot.com/2011/10/belmont-shop.html
Being Chinese is indeed a sense of smell. The smell of incense to worship the Gods, the smell of oils to cure a cold or to heal a wound, the smell of herbal soups to cure an ailment, the smell of ginseng roots for longevity and vitality, is this a 'spell word' for healthy business?
Compare and contrast, the smell of being in a room for a week surrounded by dead bodies. This pungent aroma of 'sense of smell' is sure to make the difference between life and death!
Well, let's go for the more pleasant smell sense! Here's to Paris, where perfumes behold the land of romantic pleasantries! Here's to Canada where the abundant smell of ice-wine from the Niagara vineyards is sure to drunken all the other senses. Forget not Trinidad & Tobago, where food smells of callaloo, smoke herring choka, salt-fish buljol accras, pelau, curry dhal and hotroti accentuates the call for "food tourism island" from the Ministry Of Food Tourism or is it the Ministry of Agricultural Tourism?
So we have the life or death of smells from various cultures across the globe!
Cheers to those blessed with a living sense of smell. :-)
