    I was going to edit my first post, but whatever. Awesome pics and a great story. A question for you...

    Does it bother you to see whale being chopped up and sold in a market?

    So cool... love the food shots, too. Slightly different than the fine cuisine of the Alps.

    That "Experts Onry" had to be photoshopped...? but still, seriously funny.
