From June 28th to July 3rd, I took an early summer vacation and went to Hawaii, USA. We were blessed with good weather during our trip, and compared to Japan, which is hot and humid due to the rainy season, it was sunny with a pleasant breeze and it was very comfortable.
Before I went there, I was very interested in what the cafes in Hawaii looked like, and I was paying close attention to them. Even in the United States, where coffee culture has been around for a long time, tea has recently been gaining attention as people are health conscious. In Hawaii, which is famous for Kona coffee, Kona coffee is the most recommended menu item in any shop. There were many types such as 100% Kona coffee and blended with other coffee. There was a little tea menu in one corner and there was green tea and black tea. When I asked for milk tea, it was a sweet milk tea with a strong milk rather than the taste of black tea. When you order tea at a hotel or restaurant, it always comes with lemon. The tea leaves of hot tea had a Darjeeling flavor, and the iced tea had a peach-like flavor. America, the birthplace of lemon tea. It seems that culture still exists. I found it interesting that different countries have different cultures.
When I returned to Japan, Isobuchi left for Sri Lanka. I was at Narita Airport Terminal 2 at the same time, but I couldn't meet him, so I talked with him on the phone. Surprisingly, SriLankan Airlines said that the flight would depart after 10:00 p.m. due to lack of equipment! ! I haven't heard from you since then, but I think you've arrived in Kandy by now. I would like to pray for the safety of everyone who participated in the tour, including Isobuchi.
