A new red mug and changing times


I got myself a new red mug to have my tea in.  It is supposed to be a very comforting relaxing colour.  I agree!

My friend A came over yesterday for a walk, coffee then husband M, son K and I joined her for a Chinese dim sum lunch.  We also exchanged simple gifts.  Friend A noticed that the staff spoke a lot of Mandarin now, it used to be more in Cantonese language.  Times are changing as are immigration patterns.

    Beautiful mug! Here we have different languages. Chinese people learn German here, but there are Russians, Turkish and other people who refuse to integrate.

    Awesome cup for December and beyond! Great you and your friend had such a sweet gift exchange and lunch. We used to have a huge number of Chinese students at our University, but that has changed recently too.

    Sounds like a very nice get together and I like your mug very much. I agree about the color and it has a cheerful design. I have two red soup mugs that I love in this color.

    I have watched a lot of Hong Kong and Chinese films over the years and can tell the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin. I do love dim sum too :-D
