It's 6:45am of the second full day in Japan. We've miraculously adjusted to the time here without issue and are not dragged down by jet lag. Yesterday was very full, we walked out neighborhood of Asakusa and had a great buffet breakfast in our hotel before spiriting off with our guide, chieko to the famous tsukiji fish market and its outer market. If you think Costco is a good place to go for free samples- check this market out. We ate our way down the street, eating raw oysters, eel on a stick, dried fish and nut of every variety. Prior to the outside market, was inside where the fish mongers sold their catches. It was a blur of fish guts, large sword like knives and the need to constantly be swerving out of the way from fast moving motoring fish movers on wheels. I snapped pictures when I could, but it is was a heady experience, not filled with fishy stink, but a cool, freshness that was hardly unpleasant.
