It's Russian Redstraw Friday! The air outside is definitely a lot better and not smoky at all from the fires nearby earlier this week, which is a great thing. This week we did a reading about football (soccer) in Russia. The joke included in this passage was a lot better than the bear one. Was… Continue reading Chamomile – Redstraw Tea Bar
I'm very tired, since I did not get much sleep last night and I still attended class today. Took one test, one more to go (which I gotta study more for, yikes), and one more this week. This fire nearby kind of destroyed my routine and productivity (first world problem, I know), but that's a… Continue reading Thai Milk Tea – Cha for Tea
Apparently the second Amazon Fresh store opened nearby, so my parents took me out for a drive, to which I agreed if I could get a drink after. As we were approaching the store, I noticed a huge line outside. Since my parents just wanted to check it out, they decided to go back another… Continue reading Honey Green Milk Tea – Cha for Tea
Russian practice is back at Omomo! Today we started one of the intermediate passages we found, which was about cats. Miscellaneous grammar items include whatever what was in the passage. It is also significantly cooler, and more tolerable temperature today to be out, which was much appreciated! Boba shall be appreciated in any weather though.… Continue reading Matcha Cortado – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Russians are back on normal Wednesday schedule, and we went back to Sunright today! Apparently my friend's mom really liked their Jasmine Milk Tea (I can see why!), so here we are. Today we reviewed body and color vocabulary, along with searching up some newer related terms. I had a mini debate with myself over… Continue reading Thai Milk Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
My dad went to Mochinut today, and you would expect him to come back with Mochi Donuts...but instead I got a drink, ha! Don't get me wrong, mochi donuts are pretty great; they're super chewy and decadent and come in all different flavors. My family started getting mochi donuts pretty frequently over quarantine because two… Continue reading Jasmine Green Milk Tea – Oyo Cha
Today's another Russian Friday, this time at Sunright for some variety! We went over some more Russian idioms, as well as looked up the Russian words for body parts. As an added bonus, we also learned the Russian equivalent of "Mr."/"Mrs.". Now that I've tried most of the major milk teas on Sunright's menu, it's… Continue reading Four Seasons Latte – Sunright Tea Studio
Here's to a hot day (not as hot as yesterday, but still plenty hot), post-workout, and last but not least, me starting my first day of school (finally, and boo-hoo)! Yes, my summer is over now, and I have officially begun my first virtual classes of the school year. Will it last all year? Will… Continue reading Thai Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
Russian has moved to Tuesday morning this week, because apparently the weather has decided to grace us with 100 Degrees on Wednesday. To avoid that, we moved to today, which would be slightly cooler, and in the morning, because my friend has classes later, and it'd be even cooler! We went over Russian idioms today,… Continue reading Genmaicha – Redstraw Tea Bar
What, a double post? I'm not a fan of multiple posts on one day, but I did consume multiple boba items today so I guess there's that. Today's another Friday at Orobae, except the occasion is that I got my flu shot today. Personally, it's a somewhat feared event because I, like most people, don't… Continue reading Honey Gyokuro Green Milk Tea – Orobae
