We spent two Saturdays having Tea with a Buddhist Monk and his entourage.......... Very Interesting.
 |
| He was definitely a soft-spoken, peaceful sort of guy. |
 |
| The Chinese take their tea-drinking very seriously. We spent both afternoons just conversing and drinking specialty Green Teas. |
 |
 |
| Tea Ceremony |
 |
| Cool tea-time characters, over which the hot water is ceremoniously poured |
 |
| Tea shop.......We visited one (brand-new) building with HUNDREDS of such tea shops! |
 |
| Tea, for sale in all sorts of packages |
 |
| Women sorting the TEA |
 |
| This is the building, built just to house tea shops! |
 |
| This tea shop featured a tea grown only in the high mountains of TIBET. |
 |
| On each of our outings with the Buddhist Monk, we spent much time talking with this man, a lawyer and fluent speaker of English. |
 |
| Some university students joined our group, too. |
 |
| The students especially wanted to practice their English with us. |
 |
| We went out to dinner with them....... |
 |
| .......and visited a city park. |
 |
| Kids were having great fun in the city park. |
