tomorrow we farm

Today we woke up at 5 am and went to the famous fish market in Tokyo. It was crazy and I saw a tuna as big as me. at 7:30 am we went to a restaurant in the market and had the best sushi of my life. Right out of the water and into my mouth. By 10 am we had already seen the fish market, eaten breakfast, seen the japanese embassy and east gardens. we decided to eat lunch at mcdonalds because we were feeling poor. it was gross (shock). i had an allergic reaction to something and my right hand swelled up to 3 times its size. i freaked out and iced it in the mcdonalds. its still not quite the same size as the left one but getting better. we went to the hotel that lost in translation was filmed in but were hurried out of the bar on the 52nd floor because we looked disgusting and clearly weren't there to buy anything. we wanted to have a drink where bill murray and scarlette johnasen did but it was 2 pm and the bar didnt open until 5, and again, we wer ein hiking boots and smart wool (which ps does not keep you smelling fresh). a bit defeated we decided to go to harijuku where we heard ther was a fun busy crowd. i have never seen so many people in my life and it took us about an hour to walk 2 blocks. we ended up going into a travel gear store and i bought a travel wallet and ashley bought a day pack. we slowly made our way back to the hostel. we finally are starting to figure out the subway systems but they are very confusing and although everyone is very friendly almost no one speaks english. anywhere. so its almost 7 pm and i'm sick and tired and can't even fathom the idea of getting on the subway and going to eat dinner but that is whats happening. tomorrow we go to our first farm in chubu and i can't wait. it will be nice to not be running around constantly. thats all for now! hope this has been mildly entertaining!
