@chai2,

If you wish you could take your tea up to our Japanese tea room on the second floor.

Yo Yo Ma is up there right now giving a private concert for our guests.

Or you could go out to our lovely rock garden and Buddhist temple...

(I know I'm obnoxious, but I've worked for and with two japanese garden designers for many years). Those I know play all the time. I wish I could remember an exact quote from one - something about it being a continual process.

Gunpowder is way cool too.

I want a Devonshire Tea, actually...with real cream on the scones.
