Yippee all you can eat Sushi After leaving HK, our 4.5 hour flight landed us at Narita airport, we took a 1 hour train to Tokyo after we were greeted by a greeter lol and he promptly escorted us in the right direction of course. We needed to go to board the train right away. We noticed things were different at once, rice fields everywhere, cars that were parked, all had folded side view mirrors so they had room to park in their driveways. Some cars were parked on a hydrolic lift so you could put one on top of the other! Houses are so close together you cannot walk between them and there are no front and backyards for the most part.

The card was scanned again and we promptly paid our
Tuna MMMM Good
This was taken at the fish market on Friday morning 545AM. Fish auction only lasts 1.5 hrs. so we had to get up at 430AM bill all in Japenese. We don't know if the bill was accurate lol..
Next day we had a private tour guide show us around. We took a tour of the city, learned how to get around , attended a finger puppet show etc... Yes the middle finger was used when the puppets were in motion!!!!!!!!! We managed to get around On OUR OWN ...... the next day. Thank goodness for pictograms. We had a hard time figuring out the subway, but finally did. We went to a auction for Tuna in the largest fish market in the world, attended a Sumo wrestling match, ate sushi, etc...Saturday is a travel day again.
