still traveling

still eating.

still taking pictures, just not blogging. plus, you can't take pictures in an onsen (hot spring), nudity and all. yesterday i arrived back in tokyo for my final 3 nights in japan. i went out without my camera last night. lots of rain. i went back to my favorite izakaya and all my favorite people showed up. we ate weird shit and stayed up all night. at the end of the night around 4am, 4 of us went to tsukiji, ground zero fish market. early am is the time to go apparently, and since i was getting on a night schedule, i figured it was then or never to eat the freshest sushi in the world. o wow. let me just say that about the sushi. i guess i wish i was a little more sober to relish it properly, but i think i got the idea.
