That's the way I felt one day, after traveling by very rural bus into central Malaysia, then taking a powered canoe seven hours up river into the Tamon Negara rain forest, then taking a smaller canoe another three hours to a small river settlement. Just a handful of bamboo huts and one small store selling kerosene, rice, rope, machetes, etc, and finding Kit-Kat bars for sale! It hit me worse than seeing a 7-Eleven in Bangkok!

ha! I didn't know there was a term for it! I always wondered if I had burned my tongue badly when I was little and didn't remember it. I am a total wuss about really hot liquids!

'Cat's Mouth' is the general Asian term for it. As Fledchen says, I too have to wait 10-15 minutes for my tea to cool before I can drink it. But I can't deal with pain on any level. I don't have a 'pain threshold.' I start at 'discomfort index.'
