Urlaub zu Dritt (plus Söt)

Following the actual melamin-in-milk scandal in/around China (and the whole world as far as I got it right), this is the first time that I’m happy to be lactose intolerant. Since this issue was revealed soy milk seems to become more and more popular even here in Hong Kong. Believe it or not, if you ask for soy milk in a Starbucks or Coffee bean and tea leave in Asia, the guys look at you as if you came frome Mars – in Germany it’s quite common to have a choice of normal milk and soy milk or lactose free cow milk. Funnily enough we found two coffee shops here now that do all their drinks with soy milk if ordered. And one even is a local coffee shop chain.
Is that a coincidence?
