Monday, 17 May 2010 - Day 3

Today we headed off to the Tokyo Fish Market.

After changing a couple of train we made it to the spot. First impressions I didn't quite know what I was looking at, it appeared to be quite a lot of very old building but also a lot of little fork lifts running around. Now I'm not sure if they have any rules or not because they seemed to be heading towards each other all the time but always managed to miss each other.

As we walked between the building we came across a few little type shops which immediately caught my attention, especially one that had paper items, so I managed with great difficulty to select a few things (only a few because I would have liked to have bought heaps of stuff) working out the money wasn't hard as we had already changed our money and I always have a calculating/conversion table of the money hanging around next so it makes it very easy when you want to buy something.

Anyway we continued over some more roads and eventually we came to the fish. I cold work out how to ask them where the fish came from but I certainly have never seen some of it before.

When we started to walk back Alan decided to have some sushi so as I didn't want any I said I'd just go through the little shops again. This time lucky me I found a shop that sold gumboots and then silly me bought some - day two and I would have to carry them with me for the rest of the journey. anyway I like them and they will be good for me at home.
