Tea Museum !

My dad took Mark and me to the Tea Museum at the Hong Kong Park, which is about a 10 minute walk from my house. Since the men were already there drinking tea and i left the house about 30 minutes after them, i decided to take a taxi just so i could get there asap. As soon as I got on and told the driver where i wanted to go, he said, "why don't you lose some weight and walk?!?!" Not knowing that I had just returned from NYC and had dealt with Middle Eastern taxi drivers for the past 2 years, the driver got an earful. I arrived at the museum in 3 minutes flat.

Anyways, the teahouse at the museum was pretty cool. Mark and my dad liked the red tea, and we also had fancy Chinese tea with buds that flower immediately upon contact with boiling water. These are the exact ones that Marie Antoinette drank!
