A bloke who recently moved to Brisbane from Wagga Wagga has this week had quite a few cultural shocks, first with the price of pies and now, trying his first ever Bubble Tea.
Liam Newland [27] is alleged to have made the big leap into the city life for his girlfriend’s ritzy new job, and is said to have struggled to adapt to the faster lifestyle – though he hasn’t had any trouble adapting to all the delicious types of cuisine within walking distance from his apartment, including his new favourite Korean BBQ restaurant.
As part of this new commitment to broadening his horizons, he’s even let his girlfriend talk him into ‘bubble tea’, though it did take some explaining.
“What are those balls?
“Tapioca I think?”
“What the hell is that?”
“I don’t really know actually.”
“And you’re supposed to eat them?”
“Haha yes.”
Opting for flavour he recognised, Liam had readied himself for some berry goodness when he came across a barrier – the lid wouldn’t come off.
“Fuck me, they don’t make it fucking easy do they?” he said, trying to unpeel the edges of the lid, “how the fuck is this supposed to come off?”
It’s alleged his girlfriend let him struggle for a little bit longer, before pointedly stabbing her own bubble tea with a straw and calling him a dickhead.
More to come.
