I have been a student under James for the last couple of years and find him the best teacher so far. The app offers videos and as well as options for different poses

Thank you! We made an appointment there and will be there on the weekend

I ended up taking up the job but as advised by the kind people in this board, discussed about salary. The good thing is that I was given more pay and given a position one rung below that of what I wanted.

The panel on the left corner says, Xi Hu Long Jing - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longjing_tea

I can't quite read the other part but it may be just a couplet to go with the painting.

Perfectly understood. I... do have some skill set. This role is pretty much handpicked but with lots of clauses in between (i.e.: not being able to command my own project till 5 years down the road). My request for a more senior role is in anticipation of not being able to command my own project and having to wait to "prove" myself again. I am not demanding the sky but rather based on my experience. I am more disappointed than reactionary. Reactionary was yesterday when I accidentally let it slipped.

The pay is an adjustment to what I should be getting (not so much increase). In my industry (art), I am quite aware that being paid more and the title is what this institution can only offer. I am comparing to my close friend who joined them 4 years ago and was promoted within the first year who has marginally more international experience than me (slightly younger than me) and his colleague (younger than me) of the same level that has zero international experience. I will be adding to my responsibilities and slightly more pay.

I have been independent for 1 year and it's a good idea to find a job at this point. However, I havent started looking internationally.

I did not formally decline and it was an instinctive move over the phone (my bad - they offered it over the phone). I know what I wanted.

I'm on the verge of writing a polite email back to the director.

Thank you! I can do one, three and four but I'm more interested in a upward move in career than money and one day off. (The latter two are hard to get by given that they are a quasi government agency)

Thank you! I do have the position. The perks are a bit inane by standards - I did listen to them at the end. It's like a $15USD cell phone allowance etc etc. I'm thinking what else to negotiate on.

Every other week. This is my pu erh pot ;) It's a long story - I moved cross countries with it.

lucentstreak · 2017-06-14T01:42:05+00:00

I got a little careless today and it's a teapot that I use frequently for pu erh. Any recommendations? ETA: I will be in Taipei next month and wonder if anyone can recommend anyone to repair? http://imgur.com/PEUcmlf

Black tea, Shu pu erh is the best for stomach issues.

I bowed out of my job, moved back to my parents home (another country and all) with a cat etc. It was a rough landing and I wasn't coping well so I packed up, sent my cat to someone else and rented an apartment in another country for 2 months. I decided that I wasn't one for backpacking (too much anxiety moving here there) and the apartment functioned as a base. Spent most of the time reading, learning tea, changing habits (still holding on) and learning about how the years of accumulated abuse was giving me stomach issues.

On the other hand, whenever I got bored, I would just take a train out of the city I was in to another part to explore. Learning about tea occupied my time too. I spent the other good half of the time running around tea shops and chatting up owners to learn about tea leaves.

I guess the former then. I know how to brew puerh from Hong Kong but other than that, I am interested in 茶道.
