Nigiri should always be eaten in one bite. Biting it half way and destroying the rice because your dainty little gaijin mouth can't handle a piece of food literally designed to be the perfect size for human mouths is extremely shameful.

I guess some people put pickled ginger on their nigiri but imo it overwhelms the flavor of the fish. Ginger is great to add onto sushi rolls and stuff that already has a strong flavor, but if I'm paying bank for high quality slices of apex predator over rice, I don't want the predominant flavors to be ginger vinegar and soy sauce.

Soy sauce can be considered an apex predator, looking at the number of old people around here with blood pressure issues.

North american sushi loves to do stupidly fat rolls that are as girthy as a coke can and requires a snake-jaw to eat correctly in one bite.

The piece of salmon sushi at ROLLN came out to 70 pounds. Owners David Tam and Gavin Tseng hail from Australia and are celebrating the one year anniversary of ROLLN. Tam tells us, “We wanted to do something fun that is in line with what we do, which is make sushi. This came to mind as something crazy but we thought, I think we can actually do this, let’s give it a shot. It turned out really well.”

Welp, a co-worker failed to control his desire for freedom.

Strode past the barrier of his locked-down community, went to a park to (allegedly) get drunk, was predictably not allowed back through the gate, got all punchy on camera, failed to prevail against a small cluster of baoan, and last I heard was in the police station.

A sad, disappointing end to the sad, disappointing China career of a sad, disappointing man.

A lot of expats aren't exactly stable to begin with, and current events are winding their internal departure clocks down at double speed. In this case, he ended up seeking deportation by cop.

He wasn't the sort to win.

Now, one guy who got deported around 4 years back managed to beat the entire 3-strong squad of policemen sent to bring him in for public drunken antics, only going down when the rest arrived.
Foreigners in town were approached cautiously yet firmly for maybe a year after that.

This recent one was just some sad flailing by all accounts.

This is an older map and it displays "Which country would you be closest to in Russia at any particular point," apparently.

The fact that it's in English should probably have been a hint that CCTV wasn't displaying it for domestic consumption.
