On the way out of my English lesson at the kindergarten yesterday some of the mothers invited me to stay for Japanese tea. I think the mothers have a tea ceremony lesson a couple times a month and there is another class for mothers to learn how to dress themselves in kimono. Yesterday they put on a mini-tea ceremony in the church and served a few of us teachers who were there as well as some of the mothers who will be enrolling their children from April. 
A very unexpected and beautiful few minutes of Japanese culture in my day.
Fantastic..........I like this ceremony that sometimes a tea shop near me do and where the teachers are two japanese girls.
