Yesterday
we went to the Tsukiji Market or in other words the fish market. There were
thousands of different kinds of fish. Some including squid, octopus, shrimp,
clam and even shark. This market is just at the dock. All the fishers meet
together each day and clean, gut and fillet the fish. I find it very
interesting that they all sell the fish in the same market, I think that it probably
is a lot more competitive this way. The people go to these markets and by their
fish each day. We met a really nice man at the fish market. He stopped us
because, well let's be honest we stick out like a sore thumbs. He spoke very
little English but he was very proud of his big fish and wanted to show us. It
was a very big fat fish, probably around oh 4 foot long. He also had these
awesome knives. They kind of looked like samari swords. Tiffany would have
hated the market because it was super fishy. Plus there were guts everywhere.
After the market we went and wandered around. Found like a random place of
worship and took lots of pictures. Then we went to an all you can eat buffet. It reminded me of tepinkayki. They had very little cooked food. So when you went over to the buffet you got all your raw meat and took it and cooked it yourself. It was really delicious. Then we went to Asakusa which pretty much is
a huge drumming class. Heck it was so much fun!! We learned how to drum the correct Japanese way. The last thing we did was went to the temple. We weren't sure if we were going to be able to go because of the English barrier but luckily when we got there multiple people spoke English! So we were able to do baptisms. Our friEnd Charlie was able to baptize us. Fun fact for all y'all. Japanese people are shorter than me. Shocker I know. This also means all their temple clothing was extremely short so like nice little capris. After the temple we went to dinner and home. It was one amazing day!! I will send pictures soon but I have to upload them to the computer.
