Tea? Cha?


When I think of tea I still think of the sweet cold kind with lots of ice but here you get a whole new perspective on what makes tea – tea. Typical day in the classroom you will see many containers of "teas". Pictured is one that has some sort of seed in it, one that is made of flowers, one that we couldn’t translate and one that actually looks like something I would drink. A lot of their meals involve hot liquids of some type. There is always free soup offered in the canteen for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some of soups have a lite sprinkling of tomatoes, seaweed, and scrambled egg in them with very little flavor or body to them. Sorry I haven’t acquired a taste for it yet – I don’t like eggs (unless they are in a cake) and it still tastes like dish water.
