All about Sushi!

Sushi (すし, 寿司, 鮨, 鮓, 寿斗, 寿し, 壽司?) is a Japanese food consisting of cooked vinegared rice (shari) combined with other ingredients (neta), usually raw fish or other seafood. Neta and forms of sushi presentation vary, but the ingredient which all sushi have in common is vinegared rice called sushi-meshi.
Raw meat sliced and served by itself is sashimi.

HISTORY
The original type of sushi, known today as nare-zushi (馴れ寿司, 熟寿司) was first developed in Southeast Asia possibly along what is now known as the Mekong River and then spread to southern China before introduction to Japan.[citation needed] The term sushi comes from an archaic grammatical form no longer used in other contexts; literally, sushi means "sour-tasting", a reflection of its historic fermented roots. The oldest form of sushi in Japan, narezushi, still very closely resembles this process, wherein fish is fermented via being wrapped in soured fermenting rice. The fish proteins break down via fermentation into its constituent amino acids. The fermenting rice and fish results in a sour taste and also one of the five basic tastes, called umami in Japanese.[1] In Japan,narezushi evolved into oshizushi and ultimately Edomae nigirizushi, which is what the world today knows as "sushi".

     Hello audience! Now I'm going to teach you how to type properly with 10 fingers and typing fast. Needs time to practice but you increase rapidly.
     First, you must know what finger must press what letter. 

LEFT HAND:
1. Pinkie: z, a, q, 1, shift, tab, Caps Lock and `
2. Ring finger: x, s, w and 2
3. Middle finger: c, d, e and 3
4. Index finger: v, f, r and 4
5. Thumb: spacebar

RIGHT HAND:

2. Ring finger: ., l, o and 9

     For the spacebar, it is optional whether you use your left thumb or right thumb. And for the buttons above, you can use any finger that is comfortable for you.
