Your plea makes me realize I don't eat gyoza as often as I should. Perhaps we are lucky we don't live in Japan...or maybe we are quite unlucky!

those gyoza pix are making me salivate, as it is now dinner time, but I would go for half a dozen of those right now, so so good! :applaud:

Haha. Those gyoza pix are from actual ramen shops that I went to while visiting Osaka and Kyoto.

ah, cool...i should've taken some notes from you, on where to visit/eat for good gyoza/raumen.

I went to a small noodle shop in Hakata, the cook behind the small counter did not speak, but only 5 words or so in english, so i had to use my little Japanese language skills. But the white broth base Hakata raumen with pork was quite original eating there in Japan.

No need to take notes from me. I am a tourist like the rest of us. I hunted down some recommendations off the web, from ppl I know, and from travel books.

Sounds awesome. Hakata style ramen is really famous. The broth gets its milkly white color because it's tonkotsu broth - derived from pork bones. The Shinsengumi ramen restaurant here in L.A. serves Hakata ramen in fact. I'm sure it pales in comparison to what you ate though.

IN an empty fluorescent-lighted hallway on the second floor of Smith Hall here at Carnegie Mellon University, Prof. Paul Rybski and a pair of graduate students showed off their most advanced creation.

The culmination of two years of research and the collective expertise of 17 faculty members, undergraduates and doctoral students in the Human Robot Interaction Group, it is a robot outfitted with a $20,000 laser navigation system, sonar sensors and a Point Grey Bumblebee 2 stereo camera that functions as its eyes, which stare out from its clay-colored plastic, gender-neutral face.

Hopefully it performs better than the Shamwow. One evening last year a couple of friends and I purchased one for another mutual friend while we were picking up some drinks so we could throw them back at our friend's place. That thing is pathetic. I've had better results picking up spills with old shoe leather and dried weeds.

Definitely. Suffice to say we wouldn't be buying the Slap Chop. It might lead to loss of appendages.
