Q: Anyone else feel sick after drinking pearl milk tea?

I don't think my stomach agrees with those tapioca pearls in milk tea. Each time I drink a cup here, my stomach starts hurting and I feel nauseous. Yet for some reason I still keep drinking it. I think I'm addicted to the texture of those pearls.

there are some foods and drinks in China that are an acquired taste. For me, my brain tells me something is visually unappealing, but it tastes GREAT enlightened !! Likewise, there are some foods that LOOK delicious but ........ There is no logic to it at all !

you mean the ones that are sold in those small drink shops? They don't use anything natural there. It's mostly powders full of chemicals mixed with water. Everything in it is bad for health. The only drinks that should be allowed to be drunk are beer, homebrewed coffee, bottled/filtered water and green tea.

Sometimes, but I thought it was because I always get the one mixed with pudding, which then feels very heavy if I drink all of it.

I'll try the one without pearls next time and see if it's the same.

I like tapioca pudding but the large tapioca is very difficult to find at home. Never tried pearl tea. I tried so many things in China that I didn't like that I quit trying new things. Some things were so bad that I had to spit them out. That may be limiting myself. I found 2 cookies that I like and a little loaf of egg bread with almonds that I am addicted to. Every store in Guilin had that bread. Is it available every where?

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
