I was reading this article and when I got to the end it really cracked me up :D

During their stay, Expedition 12 will do two or three spacewalks, to install equipment and carry out maintenance.

And alongside nearly four dozen scientific experiments to be conducted on the station, the two men will do some commercial filming for a Japanese TV advert about instant noodles.

Wonder how much they paid to set it up?

They made a big deal about the Taikonauts (that's chinese people in space for you) eating Chinese food in space. Like what else would they eat? Though I salivate at the prospect of trying General Tso's chicken in space.

Pre-fried food. Gross. D:

It would be fun to try and eat noodles in space, though. :)
