We had an incredible time in Tokyo!
Highlights:
coffee in little cans that come out hot from vending machines
Getting to eat sushi with our old friend Tomo!
cranky old men who growl
Shinjuku - crazy hip side of town with lots of lights!
Eating: noodles, sushi, japanese yogurt, squash tempura, giant shrimp, and deep fried balls of fish paste and onion wrapped in bacon! AWESOME!
We got to see the fish market in Ginza!!! Incredible and insane! Both Rodolfo almost got ran over multiple times by crazy little carts!
We also loved staying in our little Ryokan on little mats drinking green tea and sneaking wifi with R mans I phone!
I love Tokyo. Now I completely understand why people go gaga over Japan! It's totally unique and incredible in so many ways! Expensive but awesome! We've decided to move there when we become millionaires...til then we stare longingly at the plastic food in the windows. It was a great time!
pics to come some time...we'll keep it to a minimum....but they are AWESOME!!!!! Once we figure out a way to post them!
Two more days in Singapore and then we are off to Indonesia.
Did I mention it's 80 degrees here? Had to rub it in.
We miss everyone...it's weird being on our own, but extremely exciting!
more to come soon!
Culture shock? Definitely! Food shock? Yes.

Wow I'd heard of the Fish Mrkt in Giza.. Really Really neat that you got to see it for real, I am totally totally envious of you guys.. Will have to hear about that and staying at the Ryokan. Wow wow Wow.. Becareful in Singapore watch out for uniformed guys with sticks and be courtious to them and FOLLOW the Rules.. Another culture shock to be sure if you don't things are good here believe it towards the end of January and it's raining. makes walking on the ice at 35 degrees f a bit slick. Lv you bunches have a good time.. Dad {Gary L. DeVore}
