Thanks, Wolfram, for this incredible picture. And to you too, Hartmut, for your comments and your clear understanding of what Ethnology is all about.

"It's looking curious. What do they do?" -- I guess they're cooking the shit out of the ethnographer-participant-observation-fieldwork-dude, aren't they?
