Drugs in China, and Tea

I don't think anyone who reads this blog does drugs, but just in case, here is some advice.
Don't try to smuggle drugs into China!!
If you don't understand what I mean, then you must read the below article.

On to a more happy topic, below is a photo and also an email from Ms. R. She studies Japanese tea ceremony as well as English and many other things. For example, she sings in a Choir too. I am jealous of her, because I like Japanese tea and would like to learn how to make it. Also, I have a terrible voice-I am tone deaf, so I think it is really cool and beautiful when someone can sing well. When I sing, it is ugly!! ;(
And, while on the topic of tea, the other day Ms. M told me that her friend's father runs the oldest Japanese tea shop in Kyoto. The next time I am in Kyoto, I definitely want to check it out.

From Ms. R:
Tea Ceremony
