Yay! It's another list!
Kimchi - I used to think it was gross, now I can't live without it.
Tofu - Seemed alien and weird before, especially in the states. Love it now.
Sitting on the floor - I sit on the floor now at home when I eat. More comfortable and relaxing.
Taking off my shoes everywhere - now I totally can't remember how I could have worn my shoes inside everywhere and why.

Hmm. Tofu also for me. I never touched it back home. Now it is the staple of my diet. Eat it 5 times a week, sometimes more. Its my favorite food. |

Good list Shawner, I agree with all the ones you listed except kimchi. I don't hate it as much as I used to, but I don't think I'll ever really like it (but then I never liked pickles or sauerkraut either). |

AFN is still as terrible as the day that I arrived.
No. Thinking on it, it is worse now than it has ever been. |
