On 6/23 the guys and I decided to go to Tsukiji Market. Tsukiji Market is Japan's famous fish market. Unfortunately the auction starts before 5:00 AM so you have to wake up to catch the very first train in order to catch any of the auction.
Brad, Spils, my fraternity brothers, and Julian, the German neighbor, decided it was a good idea to party all night and just go straight to Tsukiji Market. They actually had a blast, but were completely exhausted when they arrived. I decided not to go because I was planning to be out all day because it was one of my last shopping weekends in Tokyo.
I woke up at 4:45 to catch the first train. The only people who are up at this hour are ambitious joggers, or drunk people who missed the last train...
I arrived at Tsukiji Market and soon enough spotted these drunkards.
After a bit of searching, we finally found the fish market!
The Auction.
After that we headed straight to a sushi restaurant where we had the freshest sushi in the world.
Except the guys were a little tired.
Delicious!
Afterwards the guys went home to sleep, and I went to Ueno Zoo.
