Shangri- La, indeed. Just a couple shots from our lush eastern Shenzhen hotel. The tea is a big ball of dried flowers in water and it tasted like a big ball of wet flowers.
Otherwise very lush accommodations-- incensed infused jacuzzi, pure white bedding, and Luca is modeling above, nice big fluffy robe.
Would putting sugar in the tea help? I remember the first time I had green tea. It tasted like beef broth to me and unfortunately I put sugar in it before I tasted it. 13 years ago and the memory still makes me shudder.
ReplyDeleteI need to be in the hotel you're visiting -- it looks just gorgeous. Maybe after some time in jacuzzi and in a big fluffy robe I'd lose these bags under my eyes (not my best look!).
We did the Navy 5-miler yesterday. It was a good race and we had fun. Mercifully it was nice and cool and not too sunny. Happily too we also brought our own water bottles -- no water stop until MILE 3! Lots of people looked sad along the way, so we tried to share as we went. (I hate running with a dry mouth -- I fixate on it and start to feel like I'm living in the 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' -- because who doesn't imagine themselves in that poem from time to time?)
More anon -- Love, H
Wow! Is Shenzhen so big that you have to stay in a hotel if you want to see the other side? Or was that just for fun?
ReplyDeletePS: Tell Renata I ran into her science teacher from the past two years (can't remember her name). She says hi!
