Today we are still cruising ever so slowly. We had two talks today, one on Kimonos and another on raising the K-129 Soviet submarine that had sunk in the Pacific. It was a bit of an espionage story involving the CIA and Howard Hughes as the cover story. You should Google it if you are interested.
We also heard more about yesterday's talk on Japanese Cuisine. These talks on Japanese culture are given by a Canadian former diplomat. He said that the worst meal he has ever had in Japan was when a friend took him to this very special restaurant with only one item on the menu - sperm sacs! Yes, apparently as horrible as it sounds. These sacs are from cod. Perhaps not all that different from caviar, which is considered a delicacy. He said that the only way he could eat them (not wishing to offend his Japanese friend) was to swallow them whole, swill lots of beer, and think of .... Canada!
