So last night I dreamed I told my dad I was moving to California. And he tried to kill me. With a knife. Several of them, actually

that's a really nice tea set.

... the pot isn't connected to the underneath thing, right? when you make tea - black tea - you're supposed to "wash" it a couple times - you pour the excess out into the thing. I don't know why. This is just what I gathered from when I was there.

Yeah, the pot is seperate. My grandma mentioned you were supposed to pour water over the pot or something and I was like "uhh.....okay?" And it's been in the back of my closet forever.

yeah, when you put the tea(dry) in the pot (not the tea-bag kind, the brick kind) you wash the (dry)tea with water - basically brew a pot - twice, and dump the resulting (wet)tea into the basin.

All I can tell is that this is so you don't have to get up to dump it out, and it sort of smells nice? They've got some REALLY fancy ones over there... but I don't know if there's a REAL reason for this, or if it's just laziness. haha.

Dang, Cali? Well at least then I can visit two awesome people in one trip.

That's an adorable tea set. ;)

Good luck with all of this Jill. D; I think you'll do great in California.

Hmm...

If you want, I could get my Chinese teacher to tell you about this. We had a tea day last semester, but I can't remember much about it because I wasn't feeling extremely well that day. (In fact... XD I think that was the same day I sent you 'Telling Dad'.)

Dang, now I want to have another tea day. That way I could pay more attention.

If you can't get a truly awesome price for that tea set, BRING IT WITH YOU.
