    Sushi

    I've rolled Sushi a few times - just looked it up and it's Makizushi. It's really easy to make, although mine have always been pretty basic, and admittedly not all that pretty. Basic things you'll need: Bamboo rolling mat. It's not essential, it could be pretty easy to find a substitute, but if you can find one they're cheap anyway. Sushi nori seaweed stuff. Sushi rice. However, I've heard any short grain rice works. I've found pudding rice is just as sticky, and a lot cheaper. Seafood! I usually use prawns, salmon, tuna and mussels. All personal preference. Vegetables. Anything will work really; as long as you can cut it into thin strips to fit along the middle of your sushi. I generally use peppers and cucumber. General idea: i) Seaweed goes on rolling mat. ii) Put a layer of rice over your seaweed, then layer on a row of vegetables and a row of seafood on top. I spread about a 1/3 of the seaweed slice with a thin layer of rice. Caution: don't be tempted to stuff it too full or it'll split ii) Roll the b*****d. You'll need to coil it up, so keep the first roll small and tight. Once you have an idea then you can arrange the ingredients to make it look prettier - it's always satisfying to have the tasty bits in the middle. I usually add sesame seeds to the rice, and use spring onions and ginger for flavour. There'll be plenty of sites for recipes and instructions to elaborate. I did get the Yo! Sushi cookery book as an Xmas gift, but I haven't actually used it yet, I'll have to dig it out. Anything you want me to look out for in it? Hope that helps..
  2. I'm up for this I'll see if anyone else from Cambridge is as well.
  3. Desperate bump! I only need a few more results!
  4. Bump! Thanks to Kcchan for such a quick response and his results!
  5. The experiment will be two simple tasks. Reading and writing is not important, as long as you know the grammatical properties of the language. Being able to speak it will count. I'll PM the first part of the experiment to people now. Thanks!
  6. I need participants that (only) speak Cantonese and English to do my experiment. If you don't personally, but have relatives or friends that do, i would be very grateful if you could pass this on. It should take less than 10 minutes of your time. The experiment has two parts; the first part will take exactly 5 minutes and the second should take 2 or 3 minutes. Unfortunately i can't tell you what it will consist of or the aims yet, but i can fill you in afterwards. If you would like to help me out, reply here or add me to MSN (wing_zin@hotmail.com) and I'll send you the materials. Oh yeah, Mr. Kan, if you're reading this..it's a different experiment from the one i made you do, so you are allowed to offer your services
  7. Hehe look at the guy in the background..he just doesn't care! There's no reaction, he keeps his arms folded.

    Now that was a cool video.
  10. Woo! Been waiting for you to make a new video for a while now! Wasn't let down at all! Riding was awesome and BIG! Loved it.
  11. Will Arnold is starting Uni there this year too, so you'll have at least one riding buddy, plus he's a BEAST. I'll point him towards his thread next time i speak to him.
  12. Hey! There's a few riders around Cambridge! I'd be more than happy to help you to learn to ride trials. Generally, I'm riding most days around the town centre at the moment, usually in the late afternoon/evening so you're more than welcome to join me. Also, there's usually a few of us out at the weekend. Edit: Apparently you can't PM Pre-members, so i sent you an E-mail!

    Maths As/a2

    I did Discrete maths which is meant to be the easiest maths option. I struggled. I found it was one of the harder A levels and i did History, English and Biology as well. If you're looking to achieve a good mark, it will require high maintenance. Each module builds up from lesson to lesson, if you don't understand any of the basic principles, it will only get more complicated. Right from the start, you should make sure you fully understand and can implement each formula rather than just breezing through the exercises in class, after all you will have to do the questions in an exam a period after you've learnt them, which only makes revision all the more difficult. Also, a lot of the questions in the exam will require you to apply the knowledge, rather than asking for straight forward methods, which makes understanding how each formula works even more important. Also, regarding exercises (i'm assuming you mean homework?) i had an assignment each week for both my teachers. Usually, we'd be given about 5-10 questions from exercises, which would take me a good hour to complete if they were long. At the end of each module we were given a review of everything, which was massive. This took ages and towards the higher modules, i usually found i couldn't complete them. I hope i haven't put you off doing maths, but i thought a warning was needed. If you're really good at maths, obviously you won't find it too taxing, but for ordinary people, it's not going to be easy. I ended up with a D in my A level. However, i didn't work as hard as i should have. During lessons and homework, i didn't really immerse myself in the exercises, i skipped anything that was too complicated. Also, i didn't do as many homeworks as i should and i should have really made sure that i could do each review rather than just give up, so it's my own fault really. As long as you're organised and make the most of your class room time, you shouldn't have to put in as much effort out of college, although i do stress that regular practice is still recommended. I understand i am being a hypocrite, but this is hindsight talking!

    Bmx Questions

    I got this frame! It's black and looks a little bit like this. I'm not sure what it is though. If anyone is awesome at identifying frames, the picture might be useful. I have cracked the lens in my phone, which explains the blurry picture, i think. Oh yea, the frame is cracked too, but it looks like it should last a while. Cool, i'll pop into Billys soon and hopefully they can sort me out! What's the duration of your Romania trip?

    Bmx Questions

    Ok, i have a new frame, which means i need a new Bottom bracket. Apparently i need the American size one. I also need a cheaper one, so i was told pijin.co.uk are a cheap shop. However, they only have Euro, Spanish and Mid sizes, are any of these what i'm looking for? Also, i need a thinner tyre so i can slam the frame properly. A 1.75 should be adequate, any suggestions? Again, the emphasis is on price. I am a hobo.
