Mahjong pralines chocolate in a gelato shop in Kunshan, China.

Today I came across these mahjong chocolates in a gelato shop. I still remember the time when chocolate was difficult to find in China, but nowadays one can buy pretty looking chocolate pralines even here in Kunshan.

I don’t think so. Or at least what I was taught had strange things like hands called Hitlers Blunder and Greta’s Garden. It also boasts a Goulash (Charleston). So although it won’t be completely from left side, I think it’s fairly unique in my experience.

Agree. I’m a big fan of Kemono Mahjong as a teaching tool. Plus you can recommend it without looking like a creep. 10/10.

I had some “choice” words when I heard poor Hirano-pro had Covid. That was months of work and prep… but what can you do? At least we’re in the zeitgeist I guess!

Spoilers! But yeah it was a big disappointment in that respect. I was hoping for a lot of exposure but considering how niche it is still, I’m made up with it! (And also WRC is open for other docu coverage!)
