The Tea Ceremony

Part of the purpose of studying abroad is to spread knowledge of Japanese culture. We were very happy to get this lovely message today from Hayami's family:

We are delighted to have Hayami staying with us and it will be really sad to see him leave on Saturday.Today he treated us and some of our friends to a Japanese tea ceremony and we all enjoyed it so much. He also brought over some special Japanese red bean cookies to eaten with the matcha tea.

How wonderful!
