The object may be broken, but the story and memories remain intact. While the physical connection may be gone, there is no need to feel a sense of loss, nor a demand to replace your memories with newer ones. The experiences you had abroad are an immutable and integrated part of your history and your person. Take heart - for it is only through loss that we can further appreciate what remains.

Thanks for sharing your story. May you find another suitable vessel for your morning tea soon. I also wouldn't mind hearing more about your trip, if you wanted to expound on it further - I've never been to Asia and most likely never will, so it would be nice to hear a first-hand experience. :)
