    Yesterday was a big day full of weird eats (including gristle and entrails), but we were in for bigger & crazier surprises today... Our day began with (what I generally consider to be an inhumanely timed) wake-up call at 4am for us to head out to the Tsukiji Fish Market. A tremendous feat for 2 non-morning people, but well worth it!

    Japan is my favorite country in the world, so far. The people, the food, the mixture of tradition and innovation, the mentality. I love almost everything about this country.
    So far I've been there four times, but Tokyo has definitely not seen the last of me yet.

    Well, Tokyo is great, as far as big ass metropolitan cities can get, that …

    So our first full day in Tokyo and our plans were to get up at 4:30am to head to the famous fish market and see the tuna auction.  Jet lag persisted though and we didn't actually make it out of bed until mid morning (Not really surprising though!).  We still headed off to see the fish market though and managed to see the tail end of the …
