Simple, black and white
I find it fascinating, living in another country, when something that is widely accepted in fact in one country is the opposite in another. Consider the egg. Koreans have come to believe that brown eggs are fresher than white ones; Americans think the other way around. Thus, you can't find white eggs here -- except at Easter -- just like you can't find brown ones in the States, except at your friendly neighborhood farm stand.

Now Brian, that's not true. Brown eggs are "organic" eggs in the U.S. and virtually every grocery store sells them (even the Target Superstores). They cost about 3x as much as the white eggs, too! :-)
Post more baby pix soon!

Yeah, that's true. Some prefer the organic eggs and all. But I think if you lined up white eggs and brown eggs next to each other -- same quality, same price -- the Americans would pick the white ones. The Koreans had the exact same choice years ago, and chose the brown ones. That's why all the chickens here lay brown eggs.
I wonder if the brown eggs in Korea are organic as well! My point was that you can find brown eggs readily in the U.S. I didn't realize it was that difficult to find white ones in Korea. But hey--no more pix of the kids?!! You need to add more! :-)
