Anywhere there's a crowded bus stop popular with morning commuters in China, chances are that there's a small shop selling breakfast snacks pretty close by. Popular options include steamed bread (filled or not), dumplings, rice porridge, or maybe some noodles. The shop wouldn't be complete, however, without a big pot of eggs boiling in tea on top of a charcoal-fired oil drum stove. Many is the time that a couple of eggs that we've purchased right before the bus ride into town have held off a hunger-induced temper tantrum. (...and if you think I'm only talking about our kids here, then you obviously haven't been on a bus in China...)
