Water and Tea

A rainy day; it has not stopped at all. In the evening, I met some friends in a tea house, japanese style, near Taida campus. A very quiet and relaxing place, a perfect refuge from the noise and rush of the outside world. In an evening like the one today, there was the added quality to the air that rainy days give to peaceful moments.

It is not my first experience in drinking tea in the traditional way, but that does not mean that it loses its charm. You can spend hours there that, with a little bit of luck, will lead to interesting conversations. We also had dinner there, much more than we planned, but it is so easy here to end up feeling so full.

There was a victim, though. My old umbrella was trashed by, I guess, a commando of pale people (from the looks, american or british); crushed under the tips of their own. What harm did it do to them?.
