Well, well, today's topic was "Accommodations". It was a suitable topic in this season.
One of my adult student stayed in a youth hostel with her family.
Have you ever stayed in a youth hostel? I've stayed a few times when I was "young". I had thought that youth hostels could have been for young people. But these days they seemed to change. Families also can stay at reasonable prices. Did you stay in a youth hostel recently?
My family stayed in an inexpensive hotel. They didn't have any special amenities like gym, library, and so on. The clerks were kind, and we had standard features in our room, like hair dryer, shampoo, and so on. And of course it was a bed-and-breakfast. (We had breakfast the first morning, but next morning we skipped and went out to have local Taiwanese breakfast.)
What amenities would you expect in a hotel if you go there with your family?
What features would you expect in a hotel room?
What services would you expect from a hotel?

Do you know why the tea is "rinsed" before adding the water to seep? Is it to get possible dust off? Just curious. Jan
The first reason "was" , you're right, to remove excess dust from the tea leaves. And these days the way to make tea leaves is improved, so it's not main reason. the second reason or recent mainreason is to awaken the tea leaves. The shape of Taiwanese tea leaves is like a small crampled round ball.( It means that some Taiwanese tea leaves are leaf-shaped. In this case they don't need to rince.)
