I've been on a sour beer kick lately. Got sort of messy last Wednesday on a bomber from an oddball brewery from Austin. It was made with truffle honey, coriander, and black peppercorns. I went back for more bottles and can't find any.
I found a yuzu liqueur (shochu) at a local Japanese market that I've been searching all over for since I first had it in Oahu at a nice sushi restaurant 2 years back. Had some last night.
Drove to Boston recently from Montreal. Love the roads leading up to it... Shit is smooth. Lots of scenery. But why don't you 'Muricans have gas stations off the free way? I don't want to have to go to some random county for gas.
Debating on going to Maine sometime for some lobster...

So I'm going to share my China-experience with you guys as a warning to whoever may go in the future.
Most of the Guangdong province (where everyone speaks Cantonese)---and maybe the mainland---doesn't seem to believe in toilets.
So... that means depending on which city you visit you may have no toilet---and instead are forced to use the hole in the floor. It has it's own plumbing.
Restaurants? No toilet.
The theatre? No toilet.
The mall? No toilet.
Most hotels? No toilet.
Apartments/housing? Mostly no toilet.
Basically you gotta be in a really upscale--very modern place to even see a toilet. And in most cases these public washrooms won't even have toilet paper available. If they do it's most often those pocket-Kleenexes. Sometimes it's a bucket of water. Sometimes it's none of them.
So... Good luck. Have fun.
When I was there a few years back, I was actually surprised by the amount of western toilets I came across. I was expecting squattie potties everywhere but there was a lot of "modernization" that had occurred.
Definitely needed to bring own TP though. Lesson learned the first day!
Funny story, during Vietnam war, my pops and his ese were shacked up with some local girls in a village
We're talking bamboo huts in the fucking sticks.. (a la Rambo cuhh)
Anyways, before you know it, his vato was getting his ass beat. He hurriedly put on his pants and runs away confused.
Like.. why is this girl, who he was just smooching with, beating his ass with a wick broom???
Well.. apparently he needed to take a shit in the middle of the night, saw the urinal pot and laid down a stretch of agent orange that region has never seen before.
Pops educated him that the locals don't shit in pots, they shit outside and cover it up.
That pot he thought was a urinal was for storing fresh water.
Imagine her face when she goes to get water to make rice.

I was in like 6 different cities and they had no toilets. Then again I wasn't in Guangzhou or anything.
HK, Macau and Beijing are definite cities to have toilets though. Although granted the first two aren't technically Chinese.

Surprisingly Vietnam has a lot of toilets. They even come built in with a hose to give the ol' rear end a squirt.

That's hilarious actually!

I'm trying to decide what oil to use in the jizzho. Nissan recommends an ester based oil.
There aren't many ester based oil options.
1st is Nissan branded 5w30 oil. Meh.
2nd is Royal Purple 5w30. Ester based, Group V oil. This is what I'm leaning towards.
3rd is ENEOS or Redline oils. More difficult to source. Not readily available just anywhere. More expensive.
4th is Mobil 1 0w40. Lots of Z/G guys use this. Not ester based, but has some esters. No one knows how much. Not a group V oil. Somehow a highly rated oil though.
Seems most people recommend either the RP or M1. Lots of nods going to either. The more hardcore guys recommend ENEOS or RL. I don't see the value in that, especially since ENEOS (apparently) isn't ester based. I'm also surprised Amsoil doesn't have anything ester based.
