chung refers to the traditional chinese lidded teacup with handle,
used to infuse tea leaves directly in the drinking vessel,
with the lid skillfully positioned as a strainer while sipping.
I hybridized it with a double handled baby cup, morphing the spout into a knob.
the newly-wed customers may have seen a good omen in it.
as of the day of my visit to their home, they only had a quite large fish to feed,
whom they pronounced "a feng shui fish".
they kindly gifted me with a copy of "autobiography of a yogi",
which I later read on the beach
