Man, the tea washing thing!
I don't think it begins to be useful unless it's at least 60°C, and even then, lots of strains of bacteria and viruses don't get killed til that temperature's been sustained for tens of minutes.
Somebody would need to get the water way hotter than that if they're just gonna dip their dishes in there for a couple of seconds lol. And probably makes it way worse if these people weren't washing their hands to begin with.
Notably: - Salmonella takes 6 minutes @ 60°C
- Hepetitus A takes 22 minutes @ 60°C, though only 30 seconds @ 85°C
- Polio takes 30 minutes @ 60°C, you could've gotten polio

The ironic thing is, if you're at a place where you need to wash the dishes and utensils, they're usually not giving you hot enough water to do so.
Places that are nice enough give you a thermos of boiling hot water are usually places where you probably don't need to wash your table setting.

It's official, I went to the gym today, and used the scale I've been using to track my weight, I'm down 5lbs from vacation. I think down 5lbs mostly muscle.
Now that I am working again it's probably not coming back either.

Well, the better news is that you are working again, and sharing some 40% of your income to support our 3 levels of government all over again~!

It's quite the tell to the locals when you don't know what that tea is used for and end up drinking it instead

Haha, we forgot to explain that to my kids the first couple of days. The second day, my daughter managed to get to the cups of washing tea before I could, and then had a sip. They're used to our local restaurant processes.
To be fair though, my uncle laughed at me for doing the same thing on my first visit to HK when I was 11.

FWIW, my family doctor said to not get the scan more than every 3 years due to the radiation. Google tells me that's specific to getting a bone density scan as part of the scan - didn't know that it can be separate from body comp.
