Palestine Museum of Bristol, England/Carlos Pueblo

Palestine Museum of Bristol, England/Carlos Pueblo

Palestine Museum of Bristol, England is a very small function yet

with a significant mark on the map. It is located outside of the

St. John on the Wall not far from my hostel and the Castle Park of

the Old City. I was curious when passing by and entered for a visit.

The Museum is on the 2^nd floor and the first floor is a vegan restaurant.

The museum is only open during the weekend while the restaurant

Is open four hours a day. After listening to my visiting purpose, the

restaurant owner invited me to go up stair to visit the facility. After

the brief visit of the museum, I came back to the restaurant and chatted

with the employee about the reverse osmosis apparatus of their new

purchase for the making of a Japanese Kombucha tea which took a while

for me to figure out what it was.

I guess that the young lady up stair is a teacher of a day care center and

the museum is a community center during the weekend. I saw some

chairs for children and books on the shelves. I greeted the young lady

in Spanish after I learned that she just came from Spain. I didn’t stay

very long because that the facility was very different in what I thought

of a museum. I came down to the restaurant to continue my conversation

of reverse osmosis with the owner. I have had some experience of selling

and serving the filter since 1992. I also fully understand the principle of

the purification of such drinking water. They were surprised that an old

oriental guy walked in and talked about the reverse osmosis in confidence.

They are making the Kombucha, a kind of fermented tea with some alcohol

content and strange sour taste. Eventually, I find out that is a  tea of sea

weed. Kombu is sea weed in Japanese and cha is the tea. It might have

something with Manchuria because it is also called on that name. It is

costed 2 British Pounds for a small bottles. Jars of fermented products are

stored on the shelves of the restaurant. I had had three vegan meals during

my stay in Bristol.

One day, I went to the Clifton Suspension Bridge with Sheila and took her

to the museum restaurant for a plate of vegan food. She is a vegetarian

and enjoyed it. On the next day, I tried to inform the owner what I found

on the Kanji edition of Kombucha; however, I missed my afternoon partner

and the next day was my day of checking out. I left before the restaurant’s

open schedule.
