Doko Maguro...?

We have arrived in Tokyo! From the plane it all looked rather european, some dutch style canals even, but from up close it is all rather different. Even though Tokyo is huge, everything here feels scaled down, and is scaled down (see evidence exhibit A below), they get very creative with using as little space as possible for everything.

First things first, we went to fish market this morning, but little was open as it is apparently a national holiday, but we had some sushi for breakfast anyway.

Though certain things are rather easy (like the subway), there are almost no people here that can speak a full sentence of english, which is a fun adventure, as are the many symbol-only signs. Our pathetic attempts at japanese are greeted with polite smiles.

Tomorrow we will pick up the rental kei-car and venture into the country side...
