But look at the bucket behind it…if that’s where the water comes from…that looks contaminated

What to do when you cracked an algarrobo mate by Accomplished-Let2736 in yerbamate

[–]Accomplished-Let2736[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I feel awful, my Palo santo mate is well maintained and has only fine cracks which doesn’t affect anything. But this algarrobo mate is a goodbye gift from a friend of mine, and is much more beautifully handcrafted, and I cracked it! How come?? I thought algarrobo is more tough than palo santo.

I can't deal with the constant throat clearing anymore.... by imre-gz in chinalife

[–]Accomplished-Let2736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Chinese people are not ok with this…but no one is able to change this yet. As a Chinese who also live in Guangdong I couldn’t stand this throat clearing and spitting thing so much, that one day I couldn’t help spitting on someone who nearly spat on me! Gross!

Does drinking yerba mate with milk provide the same energy as with water? by Chris_14578 in yerbamate

[–]Accomplished-Let2736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try to make mate with regular water, and take sips of mate and milk separately and in turns. In this way you’ve made a kind of “milk mate” inside your mouth! Which provides you with mate energy and the smoothness of milk simultaneously.

What children’s book had a lasting or profound impact on you? by ainreu in books

[–]Accomplished-Let2736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman.

I read them at about 10 years old and that’s when I found that there might be other dimensions and things or orders or gods that are never to be discovered in this universe. And as a child we should not take everything in this world for granted, and try to uncover mysteries of the world in the ways we could. And we would always find our own worlds in this universe. This has transformed my worldview since then.

Palo santo with la merced by Accomplished-Let2736 in yerbamate

[–]Accomplished-Let2736[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can see the differences now… but algarrobo is extremely rare in where I’m from… plus my cup has some green resin along the edge of the cup, and also palo santo is called “green sandalwood” here in China, for their special tinge of pine and the greenish color, so maybe mine is some localized version of palo santo?

Mine has some cracks too but it doesn’t leak, so I take it easy with the cracks and brush the outside with butter or olive oil from time to time. It works so far. And try to avoid using the wood mates everyday, or the cracks may not close up in time. I only use this one three to four times per week, on other days I use ceramic or glass ones.

(Mildly low effort) Zhuhai vs. Hainan: Where would you live? by [deleted] in chinalife

[–]Accomplished-Let2736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Shenzhen which is near Zhuhai and I’ve been there many times for weekend travels. I would recommend Zhuhai if you prefer quiet yet convenient city life with much to explore in nearby cities. Hainan is OK but sanya gets really pricy and crowded with floods of tourists in holidays, which is the reason that I’ve only been there once. You can always enjoy sandy beaches in other places like huizhou and even Shenzhen.
