Sep 10: Cultural Immersion Day #7

Walking along the street, we saw a guy making noodles at his sidewalk restaurant. He took a cylinder dough one foot long and two inches across, and pulled it until it was doubled in length. He folded it in half, but didn't let the two halves touch. He then pulled it long again, folded it -- now there were four strands, perhaps a magic marker thick each. He repeated the process two more times, and voila, he had 16 perfectly-uniform noodles. The whole process took ten seconds. It was mesmerizing.
