The worst has come.
It has been confirmed for me that pearl milk tea is bad for you. Apparently, tea and milk shouldn't even be mixed in the first place; never mind the chemicals that are injected into the tapioca to make them huge and sweet.
I'm going to head back to the U.S. now. There is nothing left for me here.
As all of you know, China (and more specifically, Taiwan) is a big part of my heritage. My mother was born in China but raised in Taipei, Taiwan. (FYI, my father was born in Philadelphia but raised in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. So kind of the same.) All of my mother's immediate family still resides in Taipei: my grandparents, my aunt, my uncle, their children and their children's children. I'm going to Taipei this summer for seven full weeks (from May 28-July 15) to live with them, become familiar with their Taiwan lifestyle and finally learn to speak some Mandarin.
