Boba throwback

Facebook's On This Day feature so kindly reminded me that 8 years ago today, I was having this bomb boba from a lady manning a dessert stand at a Guilin night market.

Good tea, good tapioca. Not cheap (a little over $5 USD) but I justified it by reminding myself I only get boba a few times a year -- usually when I go to CA, as there is no boba in DC worth having. Believe me, I've looked. Cheerio!
