Good lesson, it's nice to know how to say 珍珠奶茶. There are quite a few bubble tea shops in Chicago. Small mistake in the Expansion: 我不要冰的,我要热的。 should translate to.... I don't want an iced one, I want a hot one.

I don't see a problem with a girlfriend who fears clothing! Nothing wrong with staying home and "watching a movie."
