Is the glass half full or half empty? Well, that is a good question, but not really my point because it doesn't speak to the temperature of the glass. What I have noticed here in Hong Kong is that it's customary to serve a visitor a glass of hot water upon arrival to a business meeting. Picture my big body battling across town in the searing heat and humidity, slicing and dicing the sidewalk foot traffic to make my meeting on time, building a healthy sweat, only to be served a glass of hot water upon arrival. I always grab the glass hoping for cool refreshment, only to feel the thermal heat through the glass. Cruel. Uncool, in every sense.
