Today was one of the hardest, most challenging things my mom could throw at our little group. We woke up at 4:00 a.m.,quickly went to a Starbucks (man those things are EVERYWHERE) and set off. We started our pleasent day by going to a EXTREMELY dangerous fish market. We barely made it through the train station without getting killed by the traffic of BUSY Japanese ladies. We asked a police officer where the fish market was and he pointed it out to us. Were strolling along the nice rows of huge tuna and other fish when WHOA! cars transporting huge piles of fish zoomed past the alley we were walking in. In fact they were EVERYWHERE. We seriously almost got hit like thirty times. We walked through alley after alley of tuna, squid and uh… whatever that was. We came to a stop we were stopped by a guy with a Red Sox cap. He and Mike had a LONG conversation about where they were from and stuff like that.

We left and went to a cool little museum about old Japan when we came upon the store with pancake flabbergast (see yesterday’s post). We took a train back to the city and had lunch at the top of a department store. Helen had a upset stomach so she did not eat anything. We went outside to see the view. I watched kids play soccer from the top. We caught a train and went to harawhateywhat (Eds: Harajuku). We went on this crazy street where everyone dressed weird. We wandered around for like five hours straight. Then dad really wanted to go get a glass of wine. He took us a wine bar. But it was closed. Then Helen had a nervous breakdown because her shoes hurt her so bad. We went too a emergency snack place before dinner. We found a great yakatori place before heading home.
