Hitching a ride in a bigger teacup!

Inside Alice's Teacup, a teahouse in Manhattan.

I was hoping to catch my family in the midst of this whirling and twirling little ride. Although I did not catch any smiles I was pleased with the effect I achieved by focusing on the point where they would be before hand and taking the shot once they came into that field of focus. At any rate, it gave me a plausible excuse for missing the ride. :)

I must photograph all the teacups

This is a replica of hare fur spots teacup (兔毫斑茶盞). It was a necessary tool for tea competition in Sung Dynasty (960-1279 A.D.). Such kind of teacups were produced by Jian Furnace (建窯) located at Jianyang County (建陽縣) in Fujian province. The products of Jian Furnace were mainly black glaze china. When heated in the furnace, some strips appeared on the glaze surface, looked like the young hare's fur tip. Hence it was known as Hare Fur teacup.

I've got some weird leaf hat thing going on in the back.

'Teacups' ride in Fantasyland, Disneyland Paris

the teacups are worse than space mountain for me. "i'll be alright as long as i keep looking at your face," i told my friend. then she made the cups spin faster and i think i just started screaming "NOT OKAY NOT OKAY".

Whatever ride she can find to spin as fast as she can, Lauren will find it. These teacups are on the boardwalk in Ocean City.

The nicest teacups ride you'll see! Even on the inside panels of the ride, the blue china pattern is continued.

I love the idea of things hanging. I'm still enamored of the idea of bringing out my grandmothers teacups and using them in the room but with the chance that I might actually drink tea out of them. If I hung them from a chandelier, The Big Guy might have troubles in the room but maybe there's another location I could suspend them from.
