A Special Chicken Soup

You know you're becoming more integrated when:

You find a chicken foot in your bowl of soup at the lunch cafeteria and you're genuinely excited about it. Not that I was ever turned off from them, but I've grown a liking to chicken feet and fish head. Healthy, nutritious, and at our school cafeteria, and exciting bonus on some days!

That was just one of those moments where you step back and observe yourself slowly adapting to a completely different set of cultural standards, norms, and perspectives.
