My Favorite Kind Of Aquarium
This is a very cool aquarium. So cool, in fact, that it's frozen! This crazy tourist attraction is a frozen aquarium located at Kesennnuma Port in northern Japan.

Those wacky Japanese.
But they're dead!
It's not an "aquarium," it's a big refrigerator. They might as well encase them in lucite and let everyone take their coats off.
And your point is?
This is the ONLY way to enjoy the creatures of the sea. If they are put in lucite then how can I choose my diner entre?
All right; I forgot whom I was talking to.
