Last time I was at elementary school, one of the teacher's invited me over to his house for sushi. He had previously mentioned that his wife can make sushi, which I thought was pretty cool. So on Saturday he and his two sons (ages 8 and 10) picked me up and we went to their house.
They live in a very nice, Western-style house. In the car, the kids questioned me about video games, so as soon as we made it inside, they showed me all their games. I spent the next hour or so playing Wii sports with them.
Before sitting down to dinner, the teacher's wife poured vinegar over the rice while the boys and I fanned it vigorously. I'm not sure what the fanning was supposed to accomplish, aside from possibly dissipating the smell. Once we sat down, the boys explained how to make sushi rolls. We had lots of fun ingredients, including various types of sashimi, cucumbers, avocado (called 'abogado' in Japanese, to my unceasing amusement), and even sea urchin. It was my first time trying sea urchin, and I wasn't particularly impressed. Aside from that, everything was quite yummy, making me very full and very happy.

When I made sushi with my Malaysian friend, she also did lots of the fanning! She said it was to cool it faster so that you could roll it.
