Hello. This is a ~~different kind of~~ larger city than I have been to in a long while. I've been told that if I'm looking for a place to have tea and do some reading, that I should ask this forum.

I'm open to any suggestions. Finding a good sandwich shop would be nice as well.

	Hi, I'm Zuko. I run the Ice Dragon here, we serve ice cream and boba. Not a traditional tea shop, but it's an option if you don't like any of the others. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I don't think I've ever had boba before. What is that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howdare 2022-11-02 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	It's a type of tea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a wonder we don't have customers lining out the door with this kind of salesmanship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I let the food and drink speak for itself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	masterofwater 2022-11-02 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, buddy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howdare 2022-11-04 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Rude. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	all_sunday 2022-11-02 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, in that case, I would love to try some. And some of your ice cream as well. Would it be alright to sit and read in your store? I know not all stores allow that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howdare 2022-11-02 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it's fine. I do it all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-02 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	Great! I need a place where I can sit and read while I drink tea...or boba, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howdare 2022-11-02 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	I guess technically the boba is tapioca that's IN the tea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-02 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	I've had tapioca before, but I wouldn't have thought to put it in tea. I'm looking forward to trying it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howdare 2022-11-04 01:14 am UTC (link)
	It comes in different flavors, and we can put them in non-tea as well, like fruit smoothies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-05 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds good as well. What flavors do they come in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howdare 2022-11-05 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	It's probably easier to answer if you just check out the menu when you visit? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-05 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. I'm sure that would be much easier. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	masterofwater 2022-11-02 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Hi, there. I'm Katara! Boba is tea that's served with these chewy little tapioca (boba) balls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-02 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Hello, Katara. I'm Robin. Tapioca in tea? That sounds interesting and not something served where I come from. Though I do know a certain cook who would find it interesting. I would love to try it. Do you work at the Ice Dragon as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	masterofwater 2022-11-02 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	It's nice to meet you, Robin! And welcome to Vallo! I do work at the Ice Dragon, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-02 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	It's nice to meet you as well. I was a little hesitant posting here, but you've been very helpful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	masterofwater 2022-11-02 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	Most people here are pretty friendly. It's easy to find people who you can get along with. What types of books do you usually like to read? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-02 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	I hope so since it appears I may be here or a while. I'll read just about anything. Lately I've been enjoying some romance novels. Sadly I left them back ~~on my ship~~ home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	masterofwater 2022-11-02 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Luckily there are lots of bookshops and libraries here. So hopefully you'll be able to build your collection back up a little bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-03 12:01 am UTC (link)
	Thankfully! I would go crazy if I wasn't able to read. You wouldn't happen to have any book store suggestions, would you? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	brokendarkangel 2022-11-02 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	Hello, welcome. I'm afraid I can't help you with the tea and reading as I've only been here a little over a week. However, I do recommend The Great Library. Though I'm sure food and drink aren't permitted. It's still beautiful and so many books. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-02 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	I very much would like to go to the Great Library. Do you know where that is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brokendarkangel 2022-11-02 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	It's in the city. You can't miss it. If you live outside the city you can access a waypoint to get there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-02 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	Should be pretty easy to find then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brokendarkangel 2022-11-02 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, it should. And if you can't then ask someone and I'm sure they will be happy to help you. I'm Louis, by the way. Where are you from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-03 12:02 am UTC (link)
	My name is Robin. Where I'm from is a little difficult to explain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brokendarkangel 2022-11-03 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Time traveler? Moved around a lot? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-05 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	Time Traveler? No, I don't think that's the case. If what the welcoming committee told me is true, I'm more of a dimension traveler, I think. Though, to be fair, I have moved around a lot in my life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brokendarkangel 2022-11-07 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	So you're used to being in new places. This place is a bit different though. At least to me. How are you settling in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	all_sunday 2022-11-07 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	In a way, yes. This place is unlike any place I've been to before. The technology here is...unusual. But I'm adapting. Settling in is another matter. I'm trying to make the best of the situation, but it hasn't been easy. (Reply to this) (Parent)
