I Miss Cheese

Having been in China for almost two weeks now, I'm starting to miss a few things from home. My family, My boyfriend. My cats. My soft bed. But, most of all, I miss cheese.

I understand that many Chinese people have low lactose tolerance, resutling in a nation-wide cheese shortage, but I really, really like cheese. And as I've gotten older, the stinkier the cheese, the better. China has no cheese. Sure, they have cheeseburgers and cheese pizza. But that's not REAL cheese. I know this may seem like a pointless post, but I just need to get this out of my system.

And I'm not the only one. My friends and I were sitting around a restaurant table saying, "Gouda." "Blue Cheese Crumbles." "Baked Brie." "Sharp Cheddar." Just spouting off a list of our favorite cheeses.

My drive for cheese made to so desperate that I sought out an Italian restaurant--a real Italian restaurant--in search of delicious cheese. Fortunately, on the menu, I found a gigantic tower of ricotta cheese and grilled vegetables. It was heaven on earth.

Sorry about the pointless post, but I feel a whole lot better now.
