+ I had a busy, busy week but it is a Bank Holiday weekend of which our University has Monday plus Tuesday. I fully intend to do nothing but watch lots of films, drink a lot of tea , have many chocolates and may be do some walking. Sasha's friend Ben doesn't join us next week.
+ I have watched first episode of "Majo no Jouken" . I find Takizawa Hideaki incredibly cute and heart-wrenching but can't warm up to the Matsushima Nanako's character yet. I think this may be because Matsushima Nanako as well as some other Japanese actresses have differerent mannerisms from what I am used to. In a way their facial expressions are "too strong" for me sometimes. It is not necessarily a bad thing, just something I need to get used to. I was struggling with this at first in "Long Vacation" in the main character Minami who was played by Yamaguchi Tomoko. At the end Minami totally won my heart. But her friend Momoko didn't - I had a little cringe every time I saw her.
Anyway, I feel I am very drawn into "Majo no Jouken". And just a minute ago I realized that Hideaki is also a singer. Yumm!
+ I am getting confused with Japanese names and surnames. I probably need to read about the matter.
+ Yesterday's was my LJ anniversary. ONE year!!! I can't say enough how great you all are!!!

Date: 2006-08-26 09:17 am (UTC)I am the same - I drink tea very often and different varieties (green, black, with milk). I started to like green tea after one time when my friends brought me good leaf green tea from Russia with different inclusions and flaviours. These teas were so beautiful that my husband and I loved them very much straightaway! After that it took me awhile to find high quality green tea in UK. Now I most often get it from the Chinese supermarket.
But - YES! Jasmine tea is so confusing to drink. :) I seems like you are drinking some perfume-y stuff. It took me some time to get used to it too.
