This is the building that houses The Lotus-Heart vegetarian restaurant and gift shop (they used to be in the Square but of course have had to re-locate due to the earthquake). It’s so nice to see a colourful building that has been renovated. In fact, I had quite a joyful reaction to this building when I first saw it, as it was new to me and seem to have sprung up from nowhere. Such a pleasant change to viewing destruction all of the time.

I love the interior of the restaurant as it is so calm and peaceful but at the same time colourful and vibrant.
