On Saturday night, we spent a great night at 550yen Karaoke (for three hours with all you can drink softdrinks, tea, and icecream!) Sunday, it was pouring, and we were meant to do a bike tour of Hofu. In the end, they altered it a bit, and instead,
we ended up in the temple's tea room, learning about the proper way to drink green tea. It was really nice actually, mainly because someone was there to tell me exactly why and how to do things, without any of the formality. So we learnt actually how to make the tea, and they even let Amanda try it. It was nice to learn about how to drink tea with others present, there is actually a specific way to deffering to the people next to you and bowing so that you apologise for drinking first. Very insightful!
