Rice Dumplings and Tea Eggs

Last Monday was a local holiday. We ate the customary rice dumplings and eggs soaked in tea, and really, really enjoyed them! Jared and I decided that either our tastes are changing or we were given super tasty ones this year. (From multiple people?). It was an encouragement to see that yes, we may actually be getting more accustomed to life here. It often still seems that we are out of place, but hey if we now like tea eggs, we may later begin to enjoy the sight of people spitting on the streets, appreciate being told for the umpteenth time that day that my daughter has a runny nose, and be thankful for the amount of time I spend dusting our house:).
