Message Stick

We visited a very famous Tea House that all the visiting politicians and celebrities attend.  The walls were plastered with their photos and one of the focal ones at this time was of a group of women who were big wigs with the Olympics,  Mark thought it looked more like the Spice Girls.  We shared a table with a Chinese family and watched the performance of Chinese art; silhouette puppet show, man balancing plant pots on his head, dancers with tea pots, magician, singer and comedy duo.  They were all very high quality but the best of the lot was the face changing lady who with the blink of an eye her mask had changed.   Throughout the 2 hours we had our green tea continually topped up.  It’s an acquired taste and a far cry from Tetley.

Later in the day we had a Mahjong and Manderin lesson from Bonny, the lovely guide at our first hotel.  The Mahjong I now get, it’s just like rummie but the language leaves me totally cluless although Mark is making a valiant effort at every possible opportunity.
