The greatest street food ever. We are bringing them to America to get rich. We are also planning to start an okonomiyaki restaurant chain. It is quite possibly the greatest food on earth.

From the remains of the palace.. Japan really has a problem with buildings burning down. Every place we read about in Edo Tokyo Museum had been burned down and rebuilt multiple times. Then Tokyo was completely destroyed in WWII and rebuilt afterwards... then there was an earthquake in the 1960s that destroyed a lot of Tokyo, and it was rebuilt yet again. Also, the punishment for arson during the Edo period was being burned to death.

Moat #1 of 8. They are the only original remaining parts of the palace for the most part... it makes sense, because water is flame retardant.

The electronic trading floor that is currently used -- this exchange was incredibly quiet and calm. People stay in here throughout the day to make sure the building doesn't burn down.

Japanese TV is the best television on earth. I hope these studios never burn down.
