The kids arrived late last night and we were all up by 6am and heading off to breakfast. Some surrendered to McDonalds, but Richard, April and I went to the Japanese place next door. The pot stickers were yummy and the stir fry fantastic. All 6 of us ended up crowded into a corner and enjoying another order of pot stickers. We licked our plates clean.
Great experience on the subways with Jason leading the way. We got to the Fish Market where they sell 2000 tons of fish each day???? Walked through the stalls and found knives, chopsticks, pottery, sushi restaurants with long lines. I could have spent another hour there.

Shopping at the Fish Market

On to the Imperial Palace and through the Shiadome area - very modern and it seemed deserted probably because it was Saturday.

| Oh yes, and we got in trouble because the kids decided to have a foot race on the grass. No running here! |

Richard found us a great Smoked Ramen place where we ate, crashed, played cards and decided we were all tired, except Richard who wanted to stop at the shopping area Harajuka on the way back to the hotel. The four newbies were jet lagged and we didn't get much shopping done, although we found some funky stores along the narrow alleys. Right now it's time for dinner and I think everyone has crashed except me - the old one!
