On the 11th we took part in a traditional Japanese Tea ceremony. We got to see one actually done in a professional sense and then we were able to participate in one that was much more laid back. We drank Mochi (I think that's right) and had some japanese sweets as well. It was a very nice ceremony, but there really isn't much I can write about it. I was going to post up the formal ceremony video, but it's around 8 minutes long and kind of boring. If anyone wants to see it though, please comment and I'll throw it up there.

Hi Leslie,
I think it is great to know that some people can take "drinking tea" so seriously. Maybe we also should spend 10 minutes a day to just focus on drinking a cup of tea and nothing else. What is the bottom line with this ceremony? Is it relaxing or is it for honoring the tea or..? I would not mind if you want to show the video (at least a part of it).
Take care!
Love,
Agneta in Sweden
LESLIE!
