I didn’t bring all the plates I had from France because I thought it would be a good opportunity to change from modern style place setting to a more traditional one.

So here I found the perfect set of traditional Japanese bowls and plates (sake bottle, sake shots, chopstick stands, fruit plate etc.. I bought it all,except from the teapot that I didn’t like).
Each of those pieces are different as it is handmade.
I love it. It looks like Japanese traditional ceramic but I doubt it is…

It’s still all wrapped in newspaper and I’m too lazy to unwrap everything. But I used one of my dessert plate because I was craving for some fruit so here is how it looks like.

It has that natural zen glow I love. And it totally fit with my salt and paper below, two pebbles:

Sorry the photo looks very bad, it’s because I took it with my iphone.

It was very hard for me to get this salt and pepper set. It was the set that was provided in my business class plane from HK to Taipei. But unfortunately it wasn’t available for sale.

I could have simply stolen them but it is not my style, so instead I tried to talk/seduce the air attendant to sell it to me…
But it totally didn’t work.

But it is also not my style to give up when there is an opportunity to spend money…

So on my way back from Tapei to HK , I did ask the new crew if I could have this set. But unfortunately they said exactly the same thing than in the previous flight, that it was not for sale.

In the end I gave up… I just got more champagne to forget about those beautiful pebbles… But nearly at the end of the flight, the stewardess came and whisper in my ears that I should “hide that”… And there she unwrapped the napkin to reveal this beautiful set.

I was really moved by that gesture… I never thought they would care for my pitiful plead. But they did. And in end they did steal the set and not me!

I was so thankful that I gave the stewardess my phone number and we did meet later on in her hotel where we had some passionate sex through the night.
Well, the last part of my story is not true but I had to spice up a little bit my housewife story…

I feel like these kind of stories will never happen to me so I have, at some point, to make it up.
