So HOT :P

It's hot here. I think it's pretty hot just about anywhere in North America this week though. Yesterday it reached 37C (99F) without counting the humidity. With the humidex factored in, it was an insane 48C (something like 118F). For those interested in some Canadian trivia, the humidex is a Canadian weather term that refers to the effect of heat and humidity on the temperature. And according to Wikipedia, it's different from the heat index in the US. I think both involve some crazy equations though.

So what to do about all this heat?
Well, I for one am craving a bubble tea.

For the adventurous, you can always try making your own. Generally, it involves buying specialty bubble tea powder though, so perhaps it's too much effort on such a hot day.

I'm thinking though, we may just have to make a trip down to one of the local Bubble Tea places in Chinatown. If you're in Ottawa, I highly recommend making a stop to Bubblicity. Personally, I like the mango bubble slush...



or maybe a bubble sherbet...



or for the caffeine hit, they have iced coffee floats.



It all looks so good. It's never too early for something cold and refreshing right?
