Day 12-14: Tsukiji Fish Market and Shopping

I'm going to wrap this little blog up for now - it's 2.30 am on the day that we fly home and we've just got in from a night of drinking at a bar on the 52nd floor at Roppongi Hills with great views over Tokyo. The last couple of days in Japan have been spent shopping for little things we wanted to take back with us. I've managed to collect together a pile of manga books, weird toys and cheap electronics and Gemma's picked up some traditional sweets.



The only sightseeing we've done was a trip to Tsukiji fish market - the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world. The auctions are closed to the public nowadays but we showed up around 7.30am and got to see the buyers and wholesalers setting up stalls and preparing the fish for shipping.



So thats it for now! We're back in the UK over the weekend but I'll probably tidy up and complete the writing sometime after we get back to Holland and stick all of the photos up on Flickr.
