Titanium Tea Bottle and a New Friend
After the final day of class in Schaumburg (Suburban Chicago) I stopped at a nearby Japanese restaurant. There I had a "Chirashi Sushi" dinner at the Sushi bar. I asked my waiter to fill up my Thermos Nissan bottle with hot Green Tea, to help keep me alert on the 6 hour drive back to Dearborn. That waiter (I think his name was "Masa", but I have difficulty remembering names) seemed to be an expert on my Thermos Bottle. That bottle is made from Titanium, and is a very nice bottle. I bought it recently, online from the Gourmet Kitchen to have a container to carry Green Tea in when I drive on trips. My waiter friend gave me a detailed lecture about this bottle, and how difficult it was to make, and the features that made this bottle better than other bottles. I was surprised that my waiter knew so much about this bottle. Before working at the restaurant he worked for a Trading Company that imported these, and thru that experience gained a detailed knowledge of this bottle. He seemed to really like Titanium because he had a Titanium watch band. He enthusiasm for Titanium rubbed off on me, and now I am very happy to own this Titanium Tea Bottle and will look for a Titanium Watch Band for myself.
A very nice waitress took this photo (I am sorry that I did not get a photo of her as well) I turned the flash "off" to better show the warm wood colors of the restaurant. My friend was still talking about the bottle with such enthusiasm that his head moved too quickly, and is blurred.
