A Different Language

So I walked around Tokyo for a good hour trying to find the Tsukiji Nippon Fish Port Market, which I did eventually.

Tsukiji Nippon Fish Port Market Entrance

However, it was empty, and that was awfully confusing for 9:30 AM on a Wednesday, until I found this sign. On a window just behind it there was a sign in 24 point font (less than an inch tall) that said the market was closed for the holiday. I suppose there would have been an easier way to figure this out, but I don't speak or read Japanese.

It's a "Regular Holiday"

After that I walked over to the Imperial Palace and then over to Tokyo Central Station, and into the basement to find some sushi. Since I read pictures of food rather well I found this little place, without a line out front. So I went in and had simply amazing sushi!

Fantastic Sushi Restaurant!

Hopefully you get the idea from the picture, I have no idea what the name of the restaurant is. I was the only English speaker in the place until about ten minutes before I left an English woman with two Japanese businessmen came in and they were speaking English. I have already decided the rough translation is "Great Sushi, and you would really struggle to find this place downstairs in Tokyo Central Station near the main entrance."

Finally, we made it to Korea, and I had to go to the bathroom...

Yeah... I have No Idea What to Do with This.

I mean, I feel ignorant. I've got a general idea of what all those little buttons do, but I'm not feeling brave enough to try them all. At least not before I take a shower.
