O.o.....next time I get mugged i'm sure this will pop into my head and I'll start laughing hysterically instead of saying "Spare me my life" As I should

I dare you to go up to a cop and say "I was robbed by two men" while using the aerobics moves in the video.

And I triple dog dare same to tell a cop "I was robbed by two men" while using the aerobics moves in the video, while verbalizing the music in the background, ala Police Academy's Michael Winslow.

That's just wrong.

This is a very important lesson. The world outside of Japan is scary and dangerous. Always stick to safe zones like Guam and Hawaii, but you must still be cautious. Be sure to talk about how much you missed bland Japanese food after your incredible 2 days & 3 nights spent at a resort hotel.

Just had lunch with a Japanese girl from work. The conversation covered such interesting topics as how the food in the states is no good and how American and all non-Japanese people are stupid etc, etc ad infinitum. Is there some runaway production line in Japan pumping out girls with no circuitry between their brains and mouths?

On food in the States - the only thing bad about it is that you get used to it.

darwin had something to say about pickey eaters, people need to learn how to cook i think.

IMO, all ethnic food tastes better in America -- except for Italian cuisine in Italy.

i seriously hope you are joking.
Even McDonalds taste better outside USA. Go ask anyone that's been anywhere.

Chinese food in the US is especially bad. But like nanbanjin said, it's sad because you get used to it and actually want bad greasy, salty chinese food sometimes.

Oh Nanbanjin, i tried to send you a PM a while ago, but it said your box was full so i couldn't. I'll let you know when our practices start again.

Well, the main inspiration for my statement originates from several trips to India and to the Middle East (I really don't have an opinion re: European cuisine outside of Italy, nor would I know about the difference in McDonalds as I'm vegetarian).

I've been to supermarkets in USA, Europe, and the Middle East and it seemed to me that we Americans have a consistantly wider variety of ingredients available to us year round. But then again, it wasn't something I was actively curious about while traveling, so I might have missed something.

In India, 90+% of my culinary experiences were in very cheap places like 2nd class railway cars or austere ashrams, so of course, the corresponding ethnic restaurants here in the US would be more palatable.

So yeah, I know I should probably go on some more "normal" trips abroad before making sweeping culinary statements.

The thing I hate about Chinese restaurants here is that the staff refuse to give me chopsticks or take my order if I order anything that isn't "American Chinese", even after having the same argument at the same restaurant five times. I eat ethnic in the US because I DON'T want to eat bits of chicken wrapped in donut batter. And what's so exotic about beef strips and mushroom wrapped in Chinese pancakes anyway?

I need to clean out my inbox. Sorry about that.

But did she have attractive dog teeth?

p.s. go downtown to china town (before they turn it into condos) and poke around for a good restaurant. Best if you can find a Chinese person to take you.

You come here, we'll go get some pickled jellyfish and a nice plate of chicken feet and never have to ask twice.

not really. American supermarkets don't sell stuff u need to cook asian food, you'd have to go to an asian one in the US (korean or chinese). Vice versa too though. You probably can't find stuff you wanna find to cook in india.
