We are here in Japan to celebrate our third Christmas and New Year together. We had been very busy in 2006 because we both got new jobs this year so this trip is going to be a treat for us. First 2 days are going to be in Tokyo. We are staying at hotel in Tsukiji where we can look down Sumida River. It reminded us of the boat ride we took when we first met :) BUT the main reason we booked this hotel was...
Tukiji Fish Market!! It was not so hard to get up at 5am because of the jet lug. We walked to the market and tried not to bother the people working there. The tuna they were dealing were all frozen and got laid on the floor. Some of them were HUGE. Bigger then people!! We enjoyed the excitement and busy atompsphere from the people selling/buying fish, running around, pushing hand carts to carry the fish and giving a look to tourists, "Not so fun anymore when you are doing this every morning." :)
Tsukiji market has a varieties of sea food.
Breakfast time. I know Sushi is the most appropriate food to eat at Tsukiji Market but since we had an incredible sushi and sashimi dinner at Taka last night, we had Tendon (Tempura over the rice). Too heavy for breakfast? Noooo, we had busy and tight schedule after this so we needed to energize ourselves. 
I am hungry. 
Here is the seafood tendon!!
We visited to the Japan office of Steven's company and mine as well. Went to Ebisu Garden Hills and also went to Hiroo to see our friends. It has been 1.5 years since we saw them so we were busy catching up, laughing and eating.
