One of the downsides of working remotely is that we don’t have the same opportunities to build rapport easily, and communicate with the help of tone and facial expressions.

Milk tea or Bubble tea. A thirst-quenching, flavorful drink with irresistibly fun to chew pearls. During the first decade of the millennium, we were introduced to pearl shakes. Those iced-shaken powdered drinks with weirdly large ‘dyahe’ straws—yeah, big straws used to be so weird back then. Come the second decade of the ’00s; a new craze came
