Everyday it's a-gettin' closer. Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday it's a-gettin' faster. Everyone said, go ahead and ask her
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday seems a little longer. Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for, true love from me.
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer. Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Good morning, everyone! Another Thursday in Japan, and cloudy skies. I hope there will be no more rain for a few days. I planted some basil and marjoram yesterday and I'd like some warm sun to get the babies started off right!
Speaking of starting off right, I'm settling into a mug of Taylors of Harrogate's Yorkshire tea, a bowl of miso soup, rice, and tsukemono. I nice way to greet the day!

Every elementary school child in Japan has a little thermos of green tea swinging from his schoolbag as they walk along, often stopping at a red light and pouring themselves a cup! It's cute!

I recently read in one of the magazines I subscribe to, that green tea not only helps you lose weight, and losing a few pounds is something I could use, but actually deters gum disease. Just more incentive to continue drinking the green tea.

The Japanese are getting fatter and fatter every year. However, if you drink green tea instead of Coke, Pepsi, or Dr.Pepper you will stand a better chance of keeping your weight down. (Keep down, rather than lose) The magazines also say that Green tea helps prevent cancer... Japan is now leading the world in the rate of stomach cancer, and the local governments provide FREE stomach cancer checkups (complete with barium cocktails and x-rays) for everyone EVERY YEAR. I guess they don't believe the magazines.

I have tried buying green teas from other vendors than the People's Republic of Tea but have found it difficult to find a seller of comparable (in my estimation) quality. For those of you who also enjoy green tea, where do you buy it and what do you buy?

The tea seller around the corner.

Isn't it ironic that I cannot purchase British teas in the UK?  |

If you add a dash of rum it would be a Cuba Libre! Nice!
Time for a second mug of tea. Think I'll switch to some Keemun just for variety!
