It's the 31st of October and you know what that is, Happy Halloween everyone! Halloween is not that big here in Sydney but then again there are lots of discounts on the treats in all grocery stores.
Today, I had my first high tea with Savitri. We headed to Swissotel in the city to feast on our first tea and treats indulgence. Oo, I should have called this post "Tea or Treats", get it?
Tea or treats instead of
trick or treats. Anyway, were both incredibly excited!

It has been super long since Savi and I hung out and talked. We basically caught up with one another that day. I really cherish the times spent with everybody here in Sydney.
By the time the waitress served us the treats, I asked her if there would be more coming. She replied that by the time we reached to the desserts (which was the top of plate), we would definitely be full by then. Yep, as you all know, I have underestimated it. Everything were kind of miniature in size so I thought I would still be hungry. However, as we started to devour and when we were up to the second plate, we were a bit stuffed. Never underestimate the power of high tea.
Suddenly a random thought popped out in my mind, I really wanted to make videos during my time here in Sydney. I hope this thought become a reality and not just a mere imagination.
Hello Crystal-san (Yes I succinctly used the "-san" just to highlight your fondness for adding "-san" to other people that adore Japan)
ReplyDeleteIt is truly interesting to see you dine in such a prestigious Swiss hotel chain, and having an excellent Halloween experience. And no, I do not think you should apply the title "tea or treats" to this amazing blog post. As you may notice, my English has dramatically improved since the last time I commented on your blog. I have been studying English in a prestigious English program in Sydney headed by great professors such as Wishart, LeBard, Kumar and Murray. Consequently, as I was revising my daily translations for Japanese words such as ”まぐろ” and ”油” to English I suddenly was reminded of the fact that you live in Sydney too. So it is with my great pleasure that I must announce my ultimate adoration to your blog; and also my willingness to meet the author of it, in person, in this beautiful city we call Sydney.
So, crystal-San, I hope you have enjoyed your dining in Swissotel and I wish you can announce your scheduling, whether it is tenured or blessed with vacancy, so we can further discuss, in person, this beautiful blog and my improving English.
Yours sincerely,
- Yumi Fujiwara of Saitama
