China Comic -- Hot Drinks

I guess the major cultural note here is that it's not *that* bad. The younger folks have started drinking more cold things.
I've been trying out new Copic markers! It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy when I use it. The nib is so different from my usual Tomboys. Inking with a rather thick pen, but not a brush pen. I think I've pretty much set the texting standard as in the narrative voice is in caps, while the smaller "notes" sort of text is in lower case.
Funny story: When I was in Beijing to volunteer for the Olympics, our hosts actually: (A) got us each a whole pack of bottled water because so many people didn't know how to deal with hot water bottles, and (B) made a special arrangement with the dining hall people to allow us to put the bottles in their fridge.
I thought that there is too much white space, but various people said "Just put it up, Sushu".
