Tiny Bubbles...

Bubble Tea Bubble Car

One of the great mysteries of life was finally revealed to me. Ever since I moved to Toronto a couple of weeks ago these Bubble Tea signs all over Chinatown piqued my interest, particularly since Qian didn't know what it was. So... after dim sum last Sunday we ventured into a corner store specializing in the fine product. It turns out to be nothing more than fruit flavored iced tea with tapioca pearls at the bottom that you can get to with a straw double the regular size. Apparently this started as a school yard vendor gimmick in China and really took off. Definitely worth trying. While we're on the topic of bubbles... Qian and I happened to drive by this classic car show and this "bubble car" caught our attention. It's a 1955 BWM Isetta. Apparently this little cutie saved the German automaker from bankruptcy after WWII when most of its factories were destroyed. I still love my 4x4 though...
