  2. Hey Jim, who has again done ~ ~

    Yes, I do not deny the pasta. first archaeological finds show that here, the dough should be a Chinese invention. I thought I knew about the character of Han in the list. Finally, they are the hieroglyphics of the East.

    They are the latest inventions, which I know are the palm-sized portable hard drives and USB drives can now be found in the device stores. These are the idea of the Chinese.

    Sushi is a Japanese invention! It originated in South Asia - especially around the south of China - Guang Dong Area! See link below about the history of sushi.

    Many people believe that green tea from Japan, Japanese sushi, but if you Google Germany, because these two are not from Japan!

    China are those who started drinking tea (more than 4000 years!) And the trees mature tea.

  6. I have not heard about China, nothing is not an inventor. It's not really seem to be a legitimate question.
