30 March - Tsukiji Fish Market

Out at 4:50am this morning for a special behind the scenes look at the Tsukiji fish market organized by the Japanese Fishery Agency.
Tsukiji is the largest seafood market in The world.
As you can see there was quite a variety there. From extremely smelly dried squid, Whale meat (yep all you protesters start complaining), plenty of frozen tuna (the one pictured sold for approx $3600 Australian dollars this morning) and a lot of boxes of fresh fish.
Though it was fresh I'm not certain how healthy it was. Leatherjacket are DEFINITELY NOT supposed to swim upside down.

Oh and on another note, the Cherry Blossoms are just starting to appear.
I did get some very dirty looks for touching the branch like this to hold it still for a Photo, by police security troops who have been placed everywhere to protect the trees!! Suddenly Today tents and security have appeared and the whole area has turned into one big festival setup.
Latest predictions have the blossoms starting to appear tomorrow.
