Japan Trip 2015 - Day 2: Tsukiji Fish Market, Ginza, Akihabara

So, Day 2. 

We had trouble finding a cheap and good hotel for 8 people in Tokyo, that shit is expensive. We tried out renting an airbnb apartment for the first time and it was a great choice for sure.

Location was in somewhere residential so we had a taste of living like the locals. Basically there were 3 floors, 5 bedrooms with enough space for additional mattresses, 2 toilets, 2 bathrooms and a nice little living room conjoined with the kitchen. The only downside is the narrow stairs and walkways, and the 10 min walk to the nearest subway station. Other than that it's all goooooood. Best of all, we can fong under 1 roof without being separated. The owner left the house door unlocked before we came in showing how amazingly safe Japan is.

Here's my solo room which i masturbated furiously every night in which the rest will never know. Also, it was the only room on the 2nd level so if some murderer came in i would be the first to die.

Curtain open big big let neighbours see my 一条龙

Agenda was to visit the famous Tsukiji Fish Market to jiak some fresh seafood breakfast. Usually people visit at 4 am(lol) to check out the tuna fish auction but we're not interested to see men fighting over a piece of fish.

Like the logical people they are, you can drink and not die of thirst on their mrts.

They have vending machines on their platforms selling drinks, soups and even ice cream

You can get a hot drink and warm your hands while waiting for the train. Shiok shiok.

Another suspicious man on the train spotted. Looks eerily similar to the burglar from the previous day

Their trains are actually quite fast. Reached Tsukijishijo station in no time

English signs = ez navigating

Reagan control yourself!

After coming out of the station, make a left and we arrived..

..at this lapsup shithole of a market with cars trying to bang us down

but after following the crowd a little bit more we reach the restoran area 

Some shops selling kitchen appliances, knives, dried seaweed etc.

Short video walkthrough of the sideshops

2 of the more famous restorans in the market that would require queuing up to more than an hour

Oh you think it's a good idea to take a selfie? #getsnipedbitch

Decided to skip the queues as we were too fungry to wait

Random wefies by Ck while we chose our restoran 

In the end we chose this place because they sold chirashi don (seafood bowl) and no queue. What a mistake.

Firstly we were reading the menu and someone was reading out 鸡肉饭, this joker straight away bring out 1 chicken rice bowl like he had already prepared it in advance, thinking we had ordered it. Anyway nobody wanted to eat ji rou fan so we rejected it. Then he give frustrated face and ask us to order by raising our hands like we stupid. At least we ordered and our seafood bowl was actually pretty good. Very fresh very sweet unlike Jh and Jl's unagi bowl which was actually bones with rice. There was a no photography sign outside though so we sneak took a picture with Kl's noob phone camera. While we thought we would be able to eat our meal in peace and fuck off, this guy started to teach us Japanese, which was a kind gesture of course. But not when you FUCKING REPEAT THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR 15 MINS. Can just leave me alone eat my food?Anyway he taught us to add onegaishimas after a request type sentence, using it like please. For example, table for 8 onegaishimas. May i have sex with you onegashimas. Can i penetrate your asshole because you're so anal towards us onegashimas. See? It's easy to learn but noooooooo. He niam us through the whole meal machiam we metta don't understand what he means. Also, he taught us to say des, which is their version of lah, lor. And repeated it 5000 times. After we finished our meal, he took our camera and took individual shots of us for no reason whatsoever. But we just let him do it cause we didn't want to be rude or get stuck there for hours letting him teach us why we should let him take our photos.

Our "shag after getting lectured but bo bian need smile" faces

And this is the legendary joker that we have to thank for never ever forgetting o-negaishimas and des. This is what you see.

This is what we see. 

He even wrote it down for us on a piece of paper....

Of course we deeply appreciate his help and i will treasure that piece of paper for life

After walking around a little more we realised there were more shops that were way cheaper and probably didn't come with Japanese lessons.

Walking around for more food..

Not everyday you get to see a proper fish port

Suddenly become chio bu take reflection shot

More restorans that look better than onegaishimas

Like some gang sibei satki but come fish market tio lecture by ah gua

Finally found a street snack shop

Some good hearty tamago with pikachu (Japanese omelette)

Piping hot, thick, fragrant and fluffy. This was really yumz

Buying some hot drinks to warm the hands

代言人 for corn soup

Hot Kirin lemon tea is good stuff

We were actually disappointed with Tsukiji market because we saw mostly restaurants and none of the street food that the videos on youtube had shown... until we walked out of the exit of the market area and lo and behold, this happening ass street which is the real Tsukiji market tourists come for.

Gum pua happening

Street food is abundant here

So are ah tiongs

Japan's favourite fish

Got chance bigger than my lj

More omelettes

Round 2 tamago wasn't as good

k la k la the tamago not as sweet as you 2 la

Random chio bu feet shot

Wolf of Tsukiji

Beginning of Jh's obsession with average fishcakes

Which Sj got promptly stuck with

Went pass this little shop claiming to sell otoro

Feels more like chutoro, should have known from the price :(

10/10 chio good bitch snipe 

Hen gian rush over call the old man father in law

What's better than spotting chio bus? Freshly grilled scallops mmmmm..

Pretty sexpensive but looks and smells too good to resist

Even grilled scallops also use vending machine

Got the one topped with sea urchin. So sweet and fresh. Match made in heaven.

Jh got the scallop topped with crab meat. Really sweet too. 

500 yen (each) well spent.

They also sold grilled oysters which we got 3 of.

The "soup" in the shell tastes like sea water, but i guess that's what fresh seafood should be like. Still prefer my oysters raw.

Presenting the best fucking ice cream in the world. It's called cremia and the hokkaido milk is so fragrant that you would want to stuff it under your foreskin so your cheese smells like it. The biscuit cone is super delish too.

How being in a different country can affect your 家教:

In Johor Bahru:

家教 value = -10

In Japan:

Even wiping the floor when his ice cream dripped. IS THIS REALLY OUR JH??

家教 value = 10000000 Throwing the wooden chopstick into the correct bin :O

Yet more sniping in action. Can you spot the target?

Enhance

ENHANCE. Knn sibei chao stalker leh. But really is chio lah.

More chiobu feet shots at the eating/resting area

Ck asking the cute auntie for number but getting rejected );

It's ok bro you still have Yc and cremia ice cream by your side

Nice christmas tree. Apparently they are famous for their handmade brushes

Everyone loves flavoured nuts ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Beer stall out of nowhere

Guess who got attracted

酒鬼s

Yc posing with lovely little alleys and cheaper chirashi don posters than our onegashimas one

Stumbled across this fishcake stall and of course our fishcake king Jh couldn't resist

Bacon wrapped in fishcake with cheese. On paper it sounded decent but the shopkeeper didn't heat it up and it tasted like a fucking popsicle. Quite funny and burden.

Mini dried scallops on stick

Whale meat. The amount of fat looks gao wei

Our first view of the sun as it had been gloomy the whole morning

Oi oi who snipe one? Fail QC la

Too old pls

Some traditional building

More traditional buildings..

Hello 太阳先生

Standing ramen bar where Mark Wiens had came before, but we were too full

Finally leaving the market for Ginza

And we saw the good bitch chio bu again. This must be fate..

Sneaky little snipe. Nice duck Yc

Ginza is only a short 10 to 15 min walk away from Tsukiji Market.

The fuck why got random postbox

Fuck you hor how to caption

Your random pictures give me cancer

More jiaowei on the way

More nice buildings blocked by lorries

Some mascot with a very kawaii assistant

Some shady looking arcade

Suddenly got sergeant major walk pass us with his pace stick

Their public buses boards from the back door and alights from the front

One of the landmarks of Ginza, the Ginza Wako store with the signature Seiko clock tower 

Even their tar roads look so much better than ours. Hen gian use face bua the ground

Went into Matsuya Ginza to shop and see see their acclaimed basement food level, which was pretty nice but the food was really expensive.

This guy..

Whenever this fucking guy gets the camera..

...shit like this happens

Extreme closeups..

..of each of our faces

 when we thought he's taking normal photos

1 picture 6-7mb hor

but Ck one blur until only 5mb+

Random shrine while resting our legs on the rooftop

Ginna and tao eh

Bian tai shu shus getting pepper sprayed

Ck looks used to taking it on his face ;)

Jl with Ginza's version of Hachiko

Not much pictures while we shop, anyway this is only 4.30 pm in Japan

Yes that's right. Four thirty fucking peee amm. Which means if we transfer our normal lifestyles over and wake up at 2 pm on a weekend, we would have less than 3 hours of daylight left. 

Zooming into a blimp to showcase our zai camera yet again

Went to their 12 floor Uniqlo flagship store to get some gloves and scarves. So huge.

Random selfie by the leng ah leng

Jh and Sj showing us the proper way to hold ping pong balls. Definitely not gang signs.

Quite funny because it was so big we went in one after another to look for each other and ended up wasting more time. 

The streets were full of pretty girls though, so we didn't really mind. Wash eyes wash until sibei song

After we had enough of Ginza, it was time to head over to Akihabara, 宅男的天下.

Home sweet home cb zai nans

Were a little disoriented when we came out, but just follow the crowd and it's fineeeee

Bright neon buildings with in your face advertisements. Trademark Japan

The famous AKB48 and Gundam cafes right below the train platform. Didn't visit as we were fans of neither

As we walk the buildings get brighter and brighter

Lots of ads for maid cafes as well

On first look thought it was some av :(

Hunting for our dinner in the small alleys

The alleys had even more young girls distributing flyers for the maid cafes. Got abit gian, but in the end we won't understand them and the food will be overpriced and average at best.

Finally found Kyushu Jangara Ramen tucked in an alleyway

The restaurant opposite had an enticing signboard as well but we stuck to our tripadvisor recommended ramen.

And boy was it good. So thick, creamy, and that mentaiko sauce for don't know whatever reason but it works.

Mmm the meat is so chunky and the fatty parts just melt in your mouth

And to top it all of, the best flavoured half boiled egg in the whole trip. That sexy golden colour hou mai gawwwd

Kl's mushroom ramen or something that he said was pretty good as well.

This shop can give ichiran ramen fight. No wonder the local beside us add noodles 3 times :O

Come our straightaway got maid giving flyer. Heng she ugly or else Kl 上 liao

Walked around and see some cb zai nan stuff

and stumbled across this shop that sells wagyu beef skewers

Good shit

Looks delicious

But not as delicious as this chio bu behind us eating takoyaki 

小姐吃我的乌贼球球,可以不可以?

Nice snipe, creepy stalkers

Knn.. even video also chut.. you perverts...

Off to our highlight in akihabara, the owl cafe!

Located on the 5th floor of the building, the official name is Owl no Mori / Forest of Owl

Once you enter there's a dark, foresty feel and an owl greeting you at the cashier. All you have to do is pay 700 yen iirc and you get 1 hour with the owls and a free drink from the vending machine. 

The staff will explain which are the ones you shouldn't touch cause they are fierce and gangster and all, like this one

But for the 85% of the owls, you are free to touch them or molest them as you wish

This one fking dua jiak like Chia god

Buibuis

Kua lj?

Sleeeepy owls

The staff will even perch the owls on your hand if you're agreeable to it. But watch out as they may shit anytime all over your hands

在那一瞬间, 阿林找回了他的单纯 

Photo without Jl in case they break...

Discussing serious matters with Jh and Mr Owl

O rly?

Fish with jiao bin

After enjoying our hour with the owls, left and walked around for more sightseeing

Did someone say gashapon? We fucking love gashapons

We also love sex shops

It's 6 levels of porn and sex toys which is sugoi neh. Even ladies openly going in to buy lingerie and a big TV blasting jav. Awesome place playing with the handcuffs, and whips, and tenga eggs, and ball gags for sm, and rope, and fake tits, did i mention the big ass tv with noisy female screams? Truly a great experience 10/10  

Well.. because why the hell not.

Ck got nip nips 

While we were in the sex shop, only 1 thing caught Jh's attention

Headed to Yodobashi store after that which is one of the best and biggest departmental stores ever. They sell every fucking thing you can think of, at a slightly cheaper price. 

While they were admiring their watches and earphones, the rest of us got stuck in the toy section (not sex toys this time) looking for souvenirs. Decided to call it a day after we were done shopping, headed back to our subway stop and bought some supper from family mart.

As usual their convenience stores have food that looks super appetizing.

Day 2's supper, Omurice, chicken cutlet and more onsen eggs

Omurice sucked although it looks chio, but the chicken and eggs were pretty good.

also, a big long sausage to share around. We love sharing our sausages with each other ;)

And ending the day off with Jh's meatless frozen pizza. Quite funny. Good day of eating, sniping girls and playing with owls. Onwards to the next day.

- End of Day 2 -
