Today was tea at Hong Kong University. It seemed like a really beautiful university and I'd like to check it out for grad school! But I'd also like to comment on having tea, being a tea fanatic. :-P It was interesting how complex having a Chinese tea is! Unlike a British tea where you just have a pot brought out to you, you have to deal with rinsing the tea, brewing it just right, pouring it into the bigger cup, then into the smaller to drink out of, and throwing it out when it's too strong. Jeez! So much to think about just for tea! I'm wondering if everything in Chinese culture is this complex. :-P I say this because I can't get over how complex the Chinese language is. I don't know of any other language that has so many different tones and hundreds of characters that you practically need to be an artist to write. Why did they make it so complicated???
