Colorful aren’t they! I have one too. I bought a traditional Chinese red one. This picture was taken at Zhejiang Normal University in Jinhua (25,000 students). These are standard equipment for every college student. There are big machines on almost every floor of every classroom building and dorm that boil water. It is a necessity not only to make your tea, and brush your teeth but also to keep your hands warm in the classroom. In the unheated classrooms students will wrap their hands around their small tea containers that everyone brings to class (including me – but I usually have tea in my container)
