Tsukiji Fish Market

On my last morning, I woke up at 430am and headed to the Tsukiji Fish Market, the chaotic trading place for all variety of sea creatures. I didn't watch the tuna auction (which required arriving before 4am) but I did get a free tour. When I entered the market, a man insisted I jump on the back of his motorized delivery cart (I was the special delivery) and while I hung on for dear life, he zoomed around,  pausing to point out different sections and to have me pose for pictures! When I got off the cart and thanked him, he sped off before I could offer him any money. Talk about an enthusiastic local!

I followed up my whirlwind tour with the obligatory sushi breakfast of the freshest fish!
