What a Day (and night)!

I want to live in Tokyo!  We made several observations about Japanese folks today.  First, their umbrellas are a fashion statement.  Second, the ladies cover their mouths when they laugh.  Third, very few of them smile at other people.  Fourth, they know Miami because of "Miami Vice."   Finally, as previously mentioned in another post, they are hard-working.  
We started the day at the Tsukiji fish market - fun!  There were hundreds of food stalls where every item you can imagine was available.  Two foot crabs ($400), every kind of raw fish, snails, wasabi roots, etc. We bought numerous items (see video).   A sushi stall was calling us, and in we went.  Fatty tuna, salmon, mackeral, cod roe!  Delicious!
