I am drinking it right now. I am staying at the New Century Hotel with Ned. It is Worker's Day. So it is a holiday, and we are celebrating by having a little R & R at the best hotel in the city. The best room (with flat TV, a computer, plush carpet, nice everything) costs us about $60.
It's about 10 blocks away from our home, but boy do we feel far away when we get here. It feels like we are in a different city. The room is stocked with drinks, instant coffee, jasmine tea and my favorite....Lipton Yellow Label. This tea reminds me of travel. I've discovered it in hotels around the world. It's a sweet, light, black tea.
I've had it in Israel, with lots of sugar--Israeli Style.
I've had it in India, with lots of sugar and milk--Indian style.
I've had it in Beijing, black--with a cigarette--Chinese style.
Yellow Label Tea reminds me of travel, and even though I am still in Tongliao, and will walk the 25 minutes home, I feel very far away.
