Culture and Food

Have had a very cultural day today, heading off to the Tokyo National Museum. The whole first floor was a chronological depiction of Japanese art and culture, with silk paintings, tea ceremony ceramics and (Adam's favourite) swords and armour. Absolutely fascinating, and a real taste of Japan. Followed directions to a little back street retaurant for a tonkatsu lunch (deep fried pork pieces which was our first sizeable piece of meat in days, and delicious). Maddi has had a beer a day, which is more beer than the rest of her life combined, as it seems to be the Japanese drink of choice. Crazy morning at the Tokyo Central Fish market yesterday, with 3 wheeled trucks buzzing around at full speed between rows and rows and rows of fish stalls. Best sushi ever...it is hard to get fresher than 1 minute from the market. We have been too tired for night life until now, but are making the effort tonight. Those stilettos were worth packing after all.
