The saimens (ramen) are awesome, but the ice cream one…is that like dipping-dot styled freeze dried or cheese or something inside of that cone? As for the comments I’ve been reading. Wow…So that was a lot of nori in that bowl. I’d be concerned about getting hyperthyroidism or something (I love the stuff! Nori, not hyperthyroidism, that is.).

It’s called culture. Learn it and expand your mind and human experience.

You’re gaijin. Deal with it. It isn’t a bad word unless you make it so. It’s not your culture, so you aren’t in a position to dictate what people should or should not do.

I think you’re saying this following some belief that gaijin always has negative connotation. Surely it does in some places, but many argue that that word just sums up how the Japanese belief system works. “You’re Japanese or you’re not.” I think it would be just as much of a disservice as it makes it seem purely negative when many people don’t say it that way. It would actually cause far more trouble the other way. Sure, there are other ways to say it and they should mix it up but that doesn’t mean that you should go nuts because your experience with the word was bad…

The sushi article is meant to be tongue-in-cheek
