Acquired Tastes
Thought I was buying a frozen iced coffee-- that's what it looked liked in the picture. Turned out I had a Dokdo; that's milk tea, a drink which is all the rage on Lion's Bridge Road. Definitely an acquired taste. Imagine sweet tea, only with milk, which you sip through a very wide straw.
The day was hot, and I was very thirsty, so I actually drank it. By the time I finished, I decided it wasn't bad.
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
