You don't have cows in China?

Every time Elizabeth, the office cleaning lady, sees me drink tea, she always asks me..."why don't you take milk with your tea?"  and I always say, "I like my tea the way it is, no sugar, no milk, that's how Chinese people do it with our tea"... Today, she asked a follow up question..."so you don't have cows in China?"  cracks me up...

Reminds me of this TED talk by Sheena Iyengar on how the Japanese refused to give her sugar to go with her tea..I think one day Elizabeth will just make me a cup of tea with milk just so I can do it the "right" way..
