I'm sure you've seen pictures of those beautiful works of art known as Ukrainian Eggs (or perhaps you've been lucky enough to see them in person!).

That summer was pretty awkward for my friends, because immediately after saying "Hi!" I would stare intently at their ears. Anyone who visited me was forced to try an ear cuff on to...
