Takes me straight back to 2018 (pre-tinnitus) when me and my friend traveled to East Coast. We spent 2 out of 5 days in NYC, and it was probably one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I distinctly remember how we took the Subway from JFK, and walked up the stairs into the daylight of the buzzing city. Pretty much all expectations were fulfilled.

Central park was wonderful.
NYC is awesome. I used to go as often as I could, especially at Christmas. Haven't been since just before COVID-19.

Hey Juan!

Thanks a lot. Grey days are the best for natural light pictures.

How are you doing? Did the teapot arrive?

Abrazo!
Yes! I'm very happy with the teapot! I'm re-discovering the world of tea ;) If we are able to travel again normally, I would like to make a journey focused on tea, maybe visit a tea plantation somewhere in Asia... for now, just a dream! :cool:

Lately my hearing is giving me trouble... I do not know why I hear worse and worse for no apparent reason... how are you doing with tinnitus?

Un fuerte abrazo!

I've been flirting for a long while now with the idea of making it to Japan and then spending a while there studying and knowing more about tea. It could be the main script for lots of other experiences in there. My passion for the liquor doesn't stop growing.

We could figure something out to go together. I don't know, talking with universities to get some financial and accommodation help, then coming back with a full study about Japanese green tea and everything related to it (farming, pottery, geography, climate change and its impact on crops...)

My tinnitus is constantly fluctuating. Its baseline is loud, I'd say very loud. I can hear it everywhere all the time no matter surrounding noises. It sounds like an angle grinder chopping layers of thick tin. That's my comfort zone and I can spend wide spans of time ignoring it. Don't ask me how I've reached this point but be sure there has been a lot of darkness, tears, fear, depression and pure agony along the route. During the "ignoring it" periods my emotional response to it is zero worries. Then there are days when I wake up to the louder more nasty version of it and I simply feel like sh*t but I keep doing my everyday stuff. Stopping my routine doesn't stop the tinnitus, so... I would love to see a picture of your teapot in action! Remember to only brew Japanese greens with it. I've gone through lots of them and that particular one is really good for the price. We should talk more about this subject. Picture, please!

Here is my newest one. Made by Gafu Ito. Incredibly light. I'm brewing really little amounts of tea in it lately, around 60/70cl per extraction with around 4 grams of leaves. I really dig the concentration in flavor of the result. That there is a really fine yabukita I ran out of it recently and I'm already sourly missing.

What do you love so much about Ireland? I've never been, but it looks beautiful!
I've lived there for quite a while. I like its authenticity. Its history from megalithic times to how they fought the filthy British empire. Its folklore and music. The passion for sports. Landscapes and rainy weather, which is my favorite climate despite actually not being as rainy as many foreigners think. Irish people is very nice in general. Also how despite being a highly catholic culture, churches are not economically supported by government and public money. That who likes fairy tales pays from his pocket to those who tell them. It's simply a marvelous place to spend our most important belonging: time.
 
HAPPY SOLSTICE EVERYONE!

Some photos from last nights celebration at Stonehenge.

The chanting. The drumming. The Druids. The smell of burning sage and incense everywhere. The bright orange moon. The first glimpse of the solstice sun.
