Flora Expo Card Set (Taiwan)

Released September 23rd, 2010, are these two beautiful vertical Starbucks Cards dubbed "Flora Expo". Starbucks is a sponsor of this half year event that begins November 6th in Taipei, Taiwan. The 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition will be held from November 6th, 2010 to April 25th, 2011. This is the first time the event will be held in Taiwan. Taipei is the seventh city in Asia to host such a gardening expo, and this is a chance for Taiwan to show the world its commitment to outstanding gardening and the achievements it has made in the biotechnology sector. Unlike suburban expositions held in Kunming, Hamanako, Chiang Mai and other cities, the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition will take place in the city center as a response to people's desire for more urban green spaces. The site plans and designs of this year's show incorporate urban renewal concepts. It is estimated that as many as six million tourists will visit Taipei City for the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition. The Expo will help Taiwan share with the world its achievements in the areas of tourism, catering, gardening and biotechnology. These Cards are very colorful with a whimsical flower design that fit perfectly into the "coffee cup" Matching Sleeve. The Sleeve is included with this set.
