Rice Mouse
Two fun rice facts:
1. Mickey Mouse is known here as 'Rice Mouse.'
2. Things here aren't cream-colored, they're rice-colored. (Since they don't have cream here, makes sense.)
More about the culture of rice here soon.

I get the rice/cream thing.
But what do they put in their coffee? Rice?
Or is there NO coffee? If so, that is one more reason for me to stay home. :)
BBS, coffee isn't popular here. Most people drink tea. You can find coffee, but usually only in the large cities and it's expensive. I've never seen liquid cream, only the powdered stuff, also expensive.
I bought cream from the import store to make sour cream, but the average person here has never tasted or seen real cream. Butter and cheese can also be difficult to find.

I can't wait to hear more about the rice culture in China. I find China fascinating as it is.
