Japan 2008 part 3 | Kamakura, Tsukiji Fish Market, Odaiba
This time we are Kamakura, Tsukiji Fish Market and Odaiba. Not many frames from Kamakura as i forgot to recharge the batteries on the 5d. I even had the battery from the 30d which i could have used…but, damn goldfish. I clearly remember that i had to swap the batteries as i walked out of the shower…then forgot about it. Argh.
Anyways…Kamakura even though touristy is worth a visit…its a nice change from the high energy of Tokyo.
Then the next day we got up at 5, and went to Tsukiji Fish Market, which is the busiest and biggest fish market on the planet. Do you see a pattern here. Strange thing is that the place does not smell of fish at all, have no idea how they do it. Had sushi for breakfast and then we went to Hama-rikyu Gardens. From there we went to Odaiba on the monorail…which was supercool.
as we made our way to the beach we came across this railway crossing
the police pizza delivery service
more old people on bicycles
love…love this frame, i followed them for some time before i got this frame
then i saw this man charging towards us on his bike
finally we goto the beach…and then the battery died
on our way to the fish market…it was early in the morning
the market was nice clean and organized
it was pretty busy
seems the man in the bg could not take it anymore
the skyline from the fishmarket
the supercool electric thingies…you have to be careful not to get in their way
we were supposed to goto this place mentioned in the Lonely Planet, but there was a huge queue
instead we had it here under these lamps
sushi for breakfast…i could get used to this, look mom, dad…i am a fisherman…happy now. We are fishermen…and i am not a big fan of fish…which is not liked by my dad who actually did some fishing before he moved to bombay.
dude having an ice cream and riding at the same time…AWESOME
on aur way to the garden
there was beautiful tea house
it was pretty green…and with lots of SPIDERS!!!
as we left bunch of ladies were making their way to the garden
on our way to Odaiba, saw this cool building
people on their way to work…the clock designed by Miyazaki is above the frame…
on the monorail…it crossed the Rainbow Bridge
in case you were wondering…i was really there
