Tea Ceremony

3 Mar. 2009

I enjoyed the tea ceremony. Especially the explanations of each part of the activity. I've been to the tea ceremony in other places and appreciated the beauty of the gestures but now I feel I have really participated in it.

It was very nice, interesting and relaxing. I would like English material with exact documentation for self learning and repeating (about Tea Ceremony).

I liked it very much. I got a good impression of how the Tea Ceremony is held and how to behave as a guest. The cake and the tea were very delicious!

It was very interesting to learn about traditional act of the ceremony and the steps to make tea. It was rather impressive what it all takes. Introduction and explanation was very good, plus, the chopsticks, tasty cookies, and delicious tea!

It was very nice to see how a tea ceremony works. It's hard to remember all the important things, but the introduction was very good. I can recommend it to all people interested in Japanese culture, and I'm looking forward to going to a Japanese tea ceremony again. Especially I liked the cookies we ate!

It was perfect! Maybe I would like to have had some more time. (The time was short)

It was very funny! I liked how the teacher has shown the steps of folding a paper to a figure. It is worth to go (and learn) to this course. Thank you so much!
