The first few days...


The fish tank at the Vancouver airport is very colourful.



The kaminarimon gate at Sensoji temple which we are staying by in Tokyo. Kaminari is my last name!



Dana and Doug enjoying their first convenience store breakfast here in the kitchen at Asakusa Smile.



Colo Galita... the picture on the inside flap is of the guy from Katamari Damacy rolling up a bunch of Colo Galitas! Colo Galitas have a biscuit shell filled with chocolate which is filled with caramel. They are pretty delicious.



Under the cherry blossoms at Ueno Park with Steve. You probably would not be able to guess what they were talking about here. After the sun went down it got pretty cold, but it was pretty and I can't believe we were able to get a spot with all the other people who were vying for spots since it was the perfect viewing time.




Whale skewers at the fish market.



Some snack foods at the fish market. We didn't really see much fish since we were too late to catch the fish sales but we saw a huge box of fish heads being transported and some fish trimmings here and there.



At a small shrine near Tsukiji. Dana and Doug are ringing the bells after making their monetary offerings.



Dana's aunt bought us some of these dango to try.



The very fresh sashimi set that Dana and Doug got.



I got the kakkiage teishoku which was also good.



We went to see some plastic foods at the plastic food district.



Dana taking a picture of the funny Abercrombie and Fitch in Ginza. Everyone should come see this Abercrombie and Fitch, André especially. It is the most hilarious store you will see, for so many reasons. It is a tall black building with wooden shutters on all of the windows and a guy dressed in Abercrombie clothes stands outside and another guy dressed exactly the same stands inside the doors. When someone wants to enter or exit the store these guys open the doors and you hear the loud clubbing music from inside and there are flashing lights and maniquins dressed in shiny ridiculous clothes and then the doors close again.
