Darjeeling

[marohi]

Okay, it suddenly occured to me that I've had my bag of Darjeeling tea a whole month and hadn't tried it yet. ^^;

They're changing out the water mains near where I live, so we're on a boil water notice anyway. What better way to make the most of all that boiling than to make myself piss like a racehorse brew gallons of tea

Wah! I'm so glad you liked the darjeeling (*^*)! Now I have to go make some ...

Okay, I consulted my old-as-dirt-kanji-dictionary-of-doom ...

The kanji 岼 (also pronounced 'yuri')　is "a level spot part-way up a mountain"

There are over 35 kanji for "yu" and another 35 kanji for "ri" ... so that's over 1225 possibilities, but chances are, most of those kanji are used for names or are really obscure. 百合 is one of them (the lily) ... the kanji for "hundred" and the kanji for "together" or "total" ... so yeah, unless he gives you kanji, I have no answers!

Okay, that's all the info on 'yuri' I gots! Although, you probably know more about it than you ever wanted to (XD). You still might want to ask Yoshiko, though ... I can look up many things, but Japanese I am not (._.) ...

I think he was the arrogant one. I mean, "so and so said so" is not an end al, be all solution. They could be wrong (oh noes!). Unless he has definite proof, I wouldn't take him seriously. Unless, of course, Yoshiko can verify his claims.

Well, enjoy your tea! Have you ever tried Earl Grey or Irish Breakfast teas? (*-*)

Nope, but they're on my list. =) I want to drink the three bags of tea I already have before I get too many more.

Back onto yuri; I wrote the guy back and said: "That's even better. (referring to his Japanese teacher) Do you have the actual kanji handy? Because I'm a little confused now."

He replied: "there are over 1000 kanji! What are you trying to write?"

-_-;; I even quoted his original e-mails, so I have to wonder about him.

Thanks for your help, Ook. I'll be updating my definition using what you told me in your e-mail. =)
