Worst rat I’ve ever seen was in a bar in Toronto. Opened the door to the kitchen thinking it was the washroom and caught the thing in mid-leap from stove to counter. And this was post-dinner.
Unless I get inadvertently served rat-claw in a bowl of gongbaojiding or somthing, I figure I’ll just let it slide here.
One day in Taiyuan, I saw a rat running around a restaurant in which I was eating. The staff were running around looking at the rat and joking and laughing. I told a friend about this. She said, so what, I’ve seen rats walk out of restaurants and die right there on the footpath. If the rat is still alive, you know the food is safe.
UGH! A rat that works out! Recently I found that what could be a rat or a mouse had been coming into my house in tokyo and gnawing into a load of bread. We left the bread there a few nites as an “experiment” and laced it with poison. To no avail. The rodent just kept coming back, peeling through the wrapper, and chomping more. Japanese colleagues suggestions “Oh yea, that happens. You just have to remove the food and they wont come back”. Helpful.
I’m suprised you havent seen more. In Tokyo I see rats running up and down the subway tracks. But thats about it.
