Lot's of pics of tea &amp; traditional Japanese stuff here!</title><content type='html'>When you look at my very first (and only) post of this blog, you can see that it was made on the 1st of April. So one would automatically assume that "Haha yeah this blog must be one big joke". But wait! You're dead wrong! I fully intend to continue this blog, and what a better way to start it with one of my favourite past-times: Drinking tea!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Note: This is my first time posting a blog so please excuse any technical issues &amp;amp; the barebones nature of this blog*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways this week my Japanese school held a tea drinking ceremony at its College of Aesthetics campus in Hachioji, Tokyo. Naturally I wouldn't want to miss this chance of participating in a traditional Japanese custom, and I enjoy drinking tea especially if they're green. Plus we all had the chance to wear authentic Japanese garbs; the males wore yukatas &amp;amp; the females wore pretty little kimonos.&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/Finaika/tea1a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/Finaika/tea1a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's me in my yukata. My homeroom teacher said to me that "Surprisingly the yukata rather suits you". Surprisingly eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh the cute lady on my left is the always cheerful Sai Hyon-san from my class. God bless her kind-hearted soul!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/Finaika/tea2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 533px;" src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/Finaika/tea2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me with my best "Orly?" expression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/Finaika/tea3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 223px;" src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/Finaika/tea3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 cool dudes, 1 pouting lady &amp;amp; 1 uh,  awkward dude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/Finaika/tea4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 401px; height: 225px;" src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv170/Finaika/tea4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When one of my friends saw this photo, she jokingly said, "Wow!
