Tea Ceremony part 2

Peggy's very respected grandparents were the first to receive tea and in exchange to give their gift in a red envelope. Grandfather doesn't speak English, and there was concern that he wouldn't be well enough to understand what was happening, but he obviously did, as he won me with the most polite "How do you do" when I first arrived and went to shake hands with him.




And then the other grandmother received tea.

Then it was Mal and my turn.

Rick said when handing over the red envelope it was customary to offer words of wisdom which he is doing.
