       | Oh wow, everything from the website design to the writing style
       | evokes so much nostalgia. It's delightfully underpolished and
       | vulnerable in a way that's harder to find in today's world of
       | engagement engineering and SEO. What a lovely little travel blog!

       | 
       | Edit: original page loaded after several minutes. I do not
       | understand what this is about, it seems to be a rundown of
       | several fish in a museum with some random descriptions like "this
       | one's skin is like sandpaper" and "these sharks ate its siblings
       | in mommy's belly because they were hungry". As for the earthquake
       | thing, the only mention in the whole article (after the title)
       | are these couple words near the middle of the article:
       | 
       | > The first thing to catch your attention when you visit is the
       | five meter long "giant oarfish", also known as "earthquake fish"
       | on display. Actually there is no solid evidence to prove that the
       | appearance of the fish is connected to impending earthquakes.
       | 
       | No further descriptions of the lore or anything, this is all the
       | info the article has to offer

       | Another great (free) museum is the Meguro Parasitological Museum
       | in Tokyo. Many of the parasites on display there affect fish only
       | - I think they're some of the worst looking ones...

       | The article says that fish are getting smaller due to the warming
       | climate. I'd read about overfishing causing fish to mature
       | faster, and being smaller. But maybe it's different species?
