This ones are after the rain. 我喜欢看看下雨。

This one is cute flowers of "forget-me-not". Aren't they gorgeous?

And today I'm brewing green tea with berries: strawberry, black and red currant, blueberry are all here! And ofc mint leaves for special flavour.

大家好! Haven't been here for so long, but here I am.

2 weeks ago was traditional Chinese celebration - 端午节 (Duānwǔjié). And of course I couldn't help but participate in cooking traditional Chinese food for this holiday! It's called 粽子 (Zòngzi). Boiled rice filled with sweet beans pasta or date fruits. Wrapped in lotus leaves and have to be boiled for 3 hours!! But waiting is worth it. I liked the taste a lot. And of course we couldn't end eating sweets without 中国红茶 chinese red tea. Pics are below!

It was the 22nd of June

下午好，hehe

I was at the calligraphy master-class today, simply to have fun and learn a bit more about chinese culture and handwriting. And, truth be told, Hua Cheng's struggling with writing chinese calligraphy doesn't seem so funny anymore. I'm so sorry, Hua Chengzhu, for making fun of your handwriting (without bad intentions of course, but still)

Here's a pic of brush and a special sheet for calligraphy, you can write on it without any ink, only using water. It's helpful for a beginner to write and of course you could wait for a few minutes, the sheet will be dry and without the mess that you've wrote, haha

But the class was fun anyway, especially trying my best to write favourite characters' names. Shame on me, but I failed, haha. Nevertheless, I tried, so I'll be proud. I should buy one for home practice...

Hi there and good evening!

Or, should I say 下午好，haha

There weren't much updates recently, but I brought few pics of nature! ✨

The weekend was wonderful indeed, especially hiking in the forest. The first one is a pic of a lake-like waters in a small quarry nearby the village. It's deep as hell tho!

I'm in love with the sky on the second one, reminds me of a cake

And of course I couldn't help but took a pic of the last piece of snow! Miss winter already

I'm in love with cinnabons. My belly, please, forgive me. But now it's the time when all you need is a cup of hot tea and sweet-tasty-something with it. Wouldn't you agree?

[mentolecigarette]

Well, hello, autumn. Got shivers from sitting on the balcony, haha
