In case you were getting tired of my attempts at serious/deep posts, I hope this will be a nice change of pace. Rhett and I have been talking a lot about spending a couple days in Shanghai filming our daily lives to satiate our family and friend's curiosity. In these discussions we have come up with a lot of ideas of places to go/things to do.... but then we realized that filming a couple days would be a little embarrassing. Why? Because we would be frequently visiting one store over... and over... and over again! Yes, we have developed an EXTREME addiction to coco's. What is coco's you say? This glorious little storefront two blocks away from our Jia sells boba tea, hot drinks, kumquat-lemon juice, and so much more for no more than 13 kuai (aka $2). On our lowest of days we have
actually gone 3 times. It is seriously getting bad. To make the situation even worse, we've come up with excuses as to why we go so much (the denial):
- Only a limited time we can have it
- Sweets aren't a thing here, so this is how we fulfill cravings
- $2... Nuff said
And that, ladies and gents is why I am undeniably addicted to coco's. For those who ever visit one of their fabulous locations I highly recommend the chocolate milk tea with boba, cold, with a little ice. For the lighter fair, kumquat-lemon juice with fresh squeezed kumquats inside. Order DA (large) of both and you'll pay 10 kuai each. For those who are extremely interested:

In other, more exciting, news: Next week is a long weekend! Rhett and I will be going to Xian, Leshan, and Chengdu. On the to-do list in 4 days: visit the Terra Cotta soldiers, Drum Tower, Bell Tower, Wild Goose Pagoda, Leshan Giant Buddha, and the Chengdu Panda Research Base to hold a baby panda! I'm so so excited... but it's four days away from coco's :). Will report back soon!
love,
