boba @ lollicup

the west is a different place.

i feel like i'm getting a new education living out here. many things i've never heard of or seen or done. it's kinda fun. like the thrill you get when you visit a new country, but without being so intimidating and uncomfortable. so here's something new.

boba. otherwise called bubble tea.

my new friend peter introduced me to this interesting little drink. it's like a smoothie, but has these tapioca balls floating in the bottom of it. they are a funny texture - kinda like you have really soft, round gummy candies in your drink.

then they give you these really fun, fat straws so you can drink them up.

they have all sorts of flavors. i had coconut. peter had honeydew.

strangest flavors: avacado and green bean.

we tried boba at this little asian tea shop called lollicup. so asian. notice all the little animated figures.

so i'm living in . . .

and while i haven't taken a ton on pics since i've been here, i do have a few to share. below you will find just a few shots of my cute little cozy apt.

first - 'HI!' there's me. notice the tee. that's where i work. craig hospital. check out the link next door. fantastic place to work. 100 year anniversary.

now for the apt.

the front door.

dining room.

opposite the wall mirror.


my frig is already covered.


kitchen. after having people over for dinner. before doing the dishes.

bathroom colors.

spare bedroom. (for those of you who knew my last apt, the spare room is decorated like my old living room was. come visit so you can see for yourself.)

my bedroom colors. (found this coverlet at pier 1 for under $20. was originally over $200. pretty sweet deal.)

thes best way to see is just to come. really. pictures don't do it justice.
