Friday, January 15, 2010 - Souvenirs

Went out to buy my parents’ souvenirs yesterday.

I settled on tea. When I give a gift, I want it to be something that I like giving. In this case, I bought two big metal Chinese-style thermos-cups and a bunch of different kinds of tea. I bought a chinese box for the tea, as well, and for that I had to go to the Xi’an city center to the tourist district.

The cups are awesome. I’ve never drunk as much tea as this winter and one of the reasons it suits me so well is because I have my own drinking cup. It’s a big-ass metal thing with a little sieve in the top end. That way you can put tea leaves and water in, close the sieve and not have to worry about getting the leaves in your mouth when you drink from it.

The tea I bought is the tea I myself always get from our local supermarket; they have a big bar where you can buy all kinds of different teas in small plastic bags. The only shame was that the one tea that is my favorite they didn’t have yesterday, but still, I have a good feeling about it all.
