Japan is unique in ways so elusive you constantly come across things that leave you speechless. Eating raw meat is one of those things, first fish, chicken, and then there is horse, bear, etc, etc.
It's called "bashimi" or "basashi". Some say it's really tasty. It says "low fat, low calories" on the front of the fridge. Maybe those on diet will consider it. I, on the other hand, will pass.

Hi, how are you going? How was you trip to HK?
Hey, did you see the 6-minute movie clip about "Bus Uncle"? It is the hottest topic in HK at the moment. What a phenomenon. It also gained some attention from the international media. For people who are from HK, i think it is very worth thinking about the implications of this issus.
You can read some info from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Bus
Cheers
doing quite well thanks. trip to HK was a blast except for losing my precious camera phone and getting quite sick from drinking and feeling under the weather.
will check out "Uncle Bus".
i don't really see the point. it was just this one guy losing it on the bus. feel sorry for the kid but what's the point?
It really is a phenonmenon now at HK; extensive media coverage on this. 有壓力，未解決 are the highlights of what it reflects on the circumstances of HK people.
It's a manifestation of pressure in society. I guess with this someone will investigate how this unresolved-ness gets piled up so high.
The clip interested me a lot not only the dramatic elements involve, but also how come it became a "fashion" and so popular. It made me recall one of the book “The Tipping Points” about how and why an issue becomes so “hot”. The communication process involves, the way how mainstream media “wrap” this news, the creative “innovation” of using the catchphrases…all are very interesting to think about. I think it gave a very good case study for the cultural studies people in HK and I do looking forward their articles later on.
