Trouble Tea


Tea (n.)
1650s, earlier chaa (1590s, from Portuguese cha), from Malay teh and directly from Chinese (Amoy dialect) t'e, in Mandarin ch'a. First known in Paris 1635, the practice of drinking tea was first introduced to England in 1644.

Upon further research this 'bubble tea' malarkey contains neither bubbles nor tea. It is an anathema to my very fibre and must be stopped. >:(
The shop, NYTea, has the slogan 'Enjoy the new, fresh and urban tea experience.' -_- Fuck off with your hipster drinks and bring me a proper brew!

New Vlog is New

 
So, this is my new vlog.
Heh, vlog. Funny word. A contraction of 'video blog', and 'blog' is itself a contraction of 'web log', and 'log' is a clipping of 'log-book', which is so called because a wooden float at the end of a line was cast out to measure a ship's speed. Ahem.
Anyway, this is how I'll document my experiences abroad to you good people back in the UK. :) Thanks for watching!
