Hallvord, I couldn´t open your ´Visiting Graves´mpeg.
Was impressed with the omochi making. Can´t believe that each one takes such a lot of handwork! I guess you can do that all by machine now. Just imagine that half of Asia´s women would be fully occupied with producing enough omochi to satisfy the world´s demand!
