Fish market

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday.

Duffy arrived and he's been sleeping on a mattress on my floor.

Wednessday me, Duff, and 2 other house-mates Austin (from Wisconsin) and Seb (from England) went to the fish market in Tskuji. We left at 5am and got there by 6. The first 2 pics are from the exterior market that sells to the public, it's huge. So huge that I don't see how any both can differentiate from the others, every third booth is selling the same thing, and there's thousands of booths. I guess it's so demand driven it doesn't matter.

These pics are from the exterior market which is like a grid around the auctions.

The next couple pics are from the auction itself. It runs just like any other auction...everyone yelling and screaming and flapping their arms. The public is not allowed to buy at the auctions.






Here is Seb with a recently sold fish.

Sushi at 7am = great

sake at 7am = even better

Nice face Duffy

Afterwards we walked around more of the area surrounding the fish market then went home and went to sleep.
