Whale Meat.
I F****n Love the stuff.
Its a bit hard to come by in the Australian outback though - sometimes we have to make do with dolphin fillets.

» Have you ever seen a dead body?

Holiday in Cambodia (Well Bangladesh actually)
...its rough boy, but its life!

For some reason thought Bangladesh might be a nice change from New Zealands cool, clean, unsmelly countryside.
Stayed in a 'hotel' of sorts in Dakkar (I thought it was spelt Dakha? - Carol tells me I'm wrong!)
....anyway, after getting over the shock of being escorted off the plane by armed blokes (they just dont get any tourists we are told!) and were unsure how to welcome a Kiwi lad and Canadian girl who were travelling together, but horror of horrors were neither married nor brother or sister - bless their wee muslim hearts. So after being hijacked by some dodgy blokes in a Taxi were taken to a dodgy hotel somewhere in a very dodgy part of the city. Well the next morning having ensured various organs are still on holiday with us we go on to the (exreamly dodgy) belcony to take in the 'views' - ie the slum that runs along side the railway track.
Noticing a small, maybe a dozen group, people looking at something, I goes down to see whats so interesting. Of couse its the body of a woman thats been run over by a train. What was more surreal was that the group was very keen for me to take their photo with the corpse.
Which i did and still have the picture somewhere (I should find it and post it on b3ta). This happended at about 7.am - well at about 4.30pm a little man on a rickshaw came along and picked up the mangled body, roughly throwing the extra body bits that had broken off after the train had passed over her into a sack, and peddled off. It was all of about 45c, so she would have started to smell I would have thought.
That was only the start of weird holiday experiances in Asia - saw bodies being burnt in India (Varranasi) but they certainly didnt encourage photo's there (I took a few anyway - leave only footprints (and beer cans) Take only Photo's (and the piss)

Probably a little boring, dont really know why I bothered.

Cheers
