This afternoon I stumbled upon Hank making tea in the hostel dining room
and thought he would be perfect to chat with for the Traveler
Spotlight.
Hank is from Seoul, South Korea and will be spending a total of three
weeks traveling around the US. So far he has been to New York
City, Niagara Falls, and Chicago and is heading to Denver, Colorado
tomorrow. He told me that he likes Chicago very much and especially
enjoyed his visit to the John Hancock building where he was able to
drink a Chicago-style martini in the Signature Lounge on the 96th floor.
Hank told me that he loves tea culture and that's exactly why he chose
to bring his special tea pot with him on his travels. After he showed me
the intricate tea-making process, I was lucky enough to have a cup of
Hank's woorong tea. He told me this is a very special, high quality
Taiwanese tea that is very popular throughout Asia. It is said to lower
your cholesterol, cleanse your body, and keep you slim (sounds good to
me!). Thanks for the tea Hank! Happy travels and thanks for stopping in
Chicago on your adventure.
