A restaurant owner in Zhengzhou, Henan province, China has revived his hobby of creating mecha or exo-skeleton suits from metal scraps. 

 Zhou Gaosai wears his exo-skeleton creations when delivering food orders to customers and his selfies posted on his blog, Gaosai Armour, have gone viral. 

Customers and netizens that he has awed with his metallic armor call him the “Chinese Iron Man.”

“I design them from the feet up, aiming for a hi-tech intricate look while ensuring that the upper body has enough flexibility. I have revised the design countless times. Every detail demands careful thought,” Zhou told Cover News, according to the South China Morning Post (SCMP). 

Meanwhile, a 66-year-old Chinese woman’s seafood restaurant just 1.5 kilometers from Toyosu Market in Tokyo, Japan is popular for its big servings, cheap prices, and her cheerful and friendly personality. 

The woman surnamed Wu frequently visited the market to source ingredients to cook in the Chinese eatery she runs with her husband. 

On 28 November, Japanese police charged Wu with theft and trespassing, SCMP reported.

The market’s security cameras showed Wu breaking into the seafood wholesaler building late at night on 21, 22 and 26 November. 

The footage showed Wu arriving on her bicycle at the collection point of a company that buys fish bones, then placing tuna loins and bones in her basket and styrofoam container, according to SCMP.

The tuna loins and bones were intended to be processed into feed for farmed fish but Wu told the police that she grilled them to serve to her customers. 

Wu also turned some of the stolen fish scraps into meatballs, cooked them, and ate them herself, she admitted to police.
