day 2: tsukiji market and ginza

excited looking forward to our tuna auction, but cause it’s not worth it to cab from our hotel to the market for over $50 bucks to reach at 330am, it makes more sense for us to catch the last train and keep ourselves awake for 3 hours before gg to the auction. thank gawd for the 24 hours jonathan restaurant which was able to keep us warm for a few hours. we had like movies prepared so that we will be entertained during the waiting time.

WHATTTTTT???!!! i totally didnt believed it. both me and cass tot it was a joke and we googled many sites to double confirm it, and sadly it was true. AHHHH imagine the gush of disappointment at the point of time when we both confirmed the news.

the best part of it, he wholesale market only opens at 9am where that’s where we wanna try out the foodie and stuffs, so which means instead of staying awake for 3hrs, we need to spend another additional 5 more hours? we were in such a dilemma, fighting the disappointment and also the fatigue and exhaustion that both of us were starting to feel, but we both knew that if we went back to sleep now, we are definitely not able to get out of our hotel to come back here for the food already. so okayyy, we stayed at the restaurant and thank gawd, the movie which we watched fully entertained us for 3 full hours making it more bearable.

it was worthwhile keeping ourselves awake. the food was really good at the market and a very very good experience though. we were practically eating our entire way throughout the market and enjoying ourselves even though we are freezing.
