Not being used to the time change, it was pretty easy getting up at 4:30AM and heading out to go be a tourist at Tsukiji's market. This market handles >$5B of seafood related business every year and is a bustling complex filled with industry folks, some tourists, and anyone wanting to eat the freshest sushi in the world in the tiniest restaurants...While bustling off the not-crowded train in the morning I ran into some guy from Puget Sound, heard some Americans who seemed to be really good at speaking Chinese, and ran into a Japanese tourist as lost as we were who helpfully asked for directions. She ran into me again in the subway leaving the market and we actually "conversed" a little. She was from Nara, was at Tsukiji's for the 2nd time, went there for sushi, and bought some Azuki Dango to bring back.
