I'll match that:

With a picture of my own ramen school advertisement.

I took the above sticker off a wall down in the outer suburbs of Shanghai, near Jinjiang Park. It says:

Specialized Training: ramen, snacks, malatang, liangpi, cured veggies, and make-up and hair-styling. Cell: 13482645381

Malatang is a kind of, to quote John, poor man's hot pot, named after the copious amounts of spicy pepper and sesame oil added to the broth; liangpi is a kind of cold wheat noodle topped with pickled veggies, spices and hot pepper.

If I wasn't so busy, I would love call the number and sign up.

It's the same in both, that I recall. (Has Chris told you of Tampopo, if you don't know it already?) It's simply that most people think of Japanese ramen as the instant jazz. I think that the taste of the noodle might be a bit different, but it's been so long since I've had either that I can't recall.
