last full day in tokyo…sigh. we started it off with a trip to the tsukiji fish market. yea…not at 5 am or anything. sorry…i dont do that. it was more like 10am. chika had offered to take dano and i around the fish market, since she was familiar with the market, having shopped there numerous times before as a chef. the fish (and various aquatic species) area was still pretty busy, even at 10 am. when we werent dodging giant fish heads on the floor, we were dodging the carts that darted up and down the aisles. and it all surprisingly didnt smell fishy!
we headed back to the hotel to rest and eat lunch, and then i headed back out to akihabara for some last minute perusing. friday was the release date for the new dvd of the evangelion reboot…so i went looking for it. well it wasnt that hard to find…the shit was all over akihabara. but when i finally did check out the special edition dvd, i found out that it didnt have any english subtitles. fuck! argh…suckage. so i decided not to pick it up. *sigh* i continued roaming around some more, then roamed shibuya for dvds and music. i rejoined g+r at g’s house in shibuya for some home cooking with her family…yum! nice way to cap a vacation.
we wandered around ginza the next morning before heading back to our hotel to catch the shuttle to narita. and then we landed in newark airport, i fucked around doing nothing for a week, and now here i am…back home and not in tokyo. *sigh* <3 tokyo.
REMAINDERS
and now to tack on what i did since getting back. i met up with steph and jj er…last week…at oh taisho. then i had ippudo with jess sometime last week…whatever day…cant remember at this point. friday was mario karting at sean and annas. i visited my sister and my niece sunday, since i had a ton of toys from japan and i hadnt seen my niece since before heading off to amsterdam. and yesterday i had din with di and her friend sara in fort greene (brookyln! omfg!) at ici, which was yum.
*full set already up on flickr eh.
