How much bubble tea is too much bubble tea? At $1 CAD, I give in to temptation..every 5 minutes. You don’t even know, it’s sooooo so good. But I can’t tell you what they put in it because, duh, it’s in Chinese, but it is THE BEST! It goes way beyond just tapioca and flavored jelly, these things are chewy, crunchy, sweet, big, slimy, hard, fruity, round and square balls, although the crunchy bit does resemble sperm. You can choose between milk teas, fruit teas, green teas, and urine, probably, who knows. And it’s served in a plastic cup, then put into a plastic bag. I don’t get it!? McDonalds does this too. They’ll give you your drink to go in a brown paper bag. WHY? I kept refusing the bags, and when I asked, I was told it was just the polite thing to do, as a girl, to accept the bag and drink your bagged drink, always. BUT WHY? Someone suggested I bring my own recycled bag, purely for reaction. Why the need for a plastic bag around your already plastic cup, to create more waste in this city that already has such a problem with disposing of garbage and pollution? When asking this question, the conversation returned other oddities we observe in the Taiwanese. Such as, carrying umbrellas, all of the time. At first I thought it was to create shade from this deadly heat, but it’s to shield themselves from the sun. Taiwanese girls want to be white. I think it comes from the idea that the darker Taiwanese spend more time in the sun and are therefore from a lower class (correct me if I am wrong). Anyway, they do everything they can to be white. Sweaters, whitening creams, hell they have nipple whitening creams here. Does anyone need some? I’ll trade you for some wax since this country doesn’t practice hair removal.. Ugh.
