TEA TIME

PERSONAL UPDATE


 Hello Beautiful Second Life!
Tonight I went for tea and supper at the beautiful Geishas' tea house.
とし葉 (toshiha.magic) and としゑ美 (ame.ayashi) really made Paws Pawzouti (opinicus.extraordinaire),
their other guest, and I feel very welcomed and special. Many topics were covered in our
conversation and at the end they honored us with two dances and a flute musical performance.

Toshiha とし葉 (toshiha.magic): It's the most famous Japanese song, ne?
Toshiemi としゑ美 (ame.ayashi): I think so!
Toshiha とし葉 (toshiha.magic): It's one of the first songs a beginner shamisen player will learn, too!

Toshiha とし葉 (toshiha.magic):
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
In fields, mountains and villages
As far as the eye can see.
Is it mist, or clouds?
Fragrant in the rising sun.
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Flowers in full bloom.
[18:48] Toshiha とし葉 (toshiha.magic): .
Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
Across the spring sky,
As far as the eye can see.
Is it mist, or clouds?
Fragrant in the air.
Come now, come now,
Let's go and see them.

Unfortunately, the time to say goodbye came...
