Vending Machine Sells Live Crabs

Not only did China take over Japan as the second largest economy, it also looks like it has one-upped Japan in the vending machine wars. This Chinese made vending machine serves live crabs! One Shanghai Hairy Crab costs between the equivalent of US $1.50 to $7.50, depending on how large it is. The machine is kept at a temperature of 5 degrees celsius, which causes the crabs to go into hibernation. It guarantees live crabs: get a dead one, they'll give you three for free.

Japanese Ramen (ラーメン): Worth A Two Hour Wait

Would you wait in a two hour line for this?

Probably not. For most of Western society, the word "ramen" usually conjures up images of instant noodles packages eaten in school dormatories. However, real Japanese ramen (ラーメン), a noodle dish that originated in China, is nothing like instant ramen. It's something so unique and delicious, people will wait the equivalent length of a Jackie Chan movie just to slurp it down.

In this video, The New York Times indulges our tastebuds with an inside look at ramen eating in Japan.
