Comments on: Whale Watching In Hawaii http://alohateam.com/whale-watching-in-hawaii/ Aloha, this is my take on life in paradise. From the perspective of a military weather forecaster who's lived in Hawaii for 10 years. Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:06:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Gus http://alohateam.com/whale-watching-in-hawaii/#comment-133 Gus Mon, 24 Mar 2008 08:10:39 +0000 http://alohateam.com/whale-watching-in-hawaii/#comment-133 Great pics. I love whales. They're beautiful. I have been living in Japan for the last couple of years and talking with Japanese people about whales and how we should protect them is like talking to a brick wall. They can't understand why Australia and other countries are so angry with them. The say eating whale meat is part of their culture and after WWII whale was the only source of meat that provided them with nourishment. They served whale meat to the children during school lunch break. What irks me is the Japanese continue to hunt whales and claim it's for scientific purposes. Some restaurants still secretly serve and have whale on the menu. Anyway, sorry for the rant. I really enjoyed this post.

The pics are awesome and looks like a great thing to add to my 'things to do in the next five years' list. It'll have to be number 2 though, right behind, 'write a things to do in the next five years list' !
