Fish market and gadgets

This morning we visited the Tsukiji Fish Market, which is reportedly the largest fish market in the world. We missed the early morning rush when the catch comes in and is sold off, but we did walk through the market and saw hundreds of varieties of fish and seafood, some being cut up and packaged for transport to who knows where. I learned it was not a good idea to get too close while fish heads were being lopped off lest some spray comes your way. Definitely not the place to wear your best clothes.

On the street along the way I ate what we dubbed an eggcycle, which was an omelet on a stick, and then Catheleen and I tried these large scallops which were shucked and fried up for us on the spot with blow torches, and then served with soya sauce in the half shell. Yummy.

Later in the morning we visited the Sony building. We started off in a theatre watching the Foo Fighters sing a few songs on an ultra high definition TV which must have been a 15 foot by 10 foot screen. I would need a bigger house to fit this monster TV. I assume it was for promotional purposes only, but it was still pretty cool. We next visited all the floors to look and play with all the latest gadgets.

Here I am eating my eggcycle.
