Another nice things about being in Yokohama is that you are much closer to Tokyo. I met up with a couple of coworkers and headed up to Tokyo. I just hopped on the train and 20 minutes later we were at Shinagawa.
The first stop was the Tsukiji Fish Market. As it was the weekend there wasn't much happening, but it was interesting to see where the highest percentage of fish in the world is sold. Using the cached map feature and the PDF map for the Tokyo Metro Subway, I was able to get to the next place the shortest route possible. It was over to Korean Town which is right near Shinjuku. Bryans big mission was to find a whole chicken in a bag. I think this might catch on if Costco ever gets wind of it. All you do is boil the bag for 5 minutes and BAM chicken. We then ate lunch at a Korean restaurant. All of us had the hot stone bowl thing.
The next stop was over to Ikebukiro to go to Namjatown. I had heard of this before, it basically is a theme park for food. Bryan was looking to go the this Ice Cream Musuem. They literally have hundereds of flavors from the mondan to Viper or Salt. Between the three of us we got: Viper, Creme Cheese, Garlic and Mint, Pistachio, and Custard. Surprisingly the Pistachio was on par with the Viper we how terrible it was. Basically it was like just taking the whole nut and shell and grinding it up.
We then headed back to Yokohama and had Idaho Burgers from McDonalds. It has a hash brown, bacon, and a mustard sauce. It was alright. I was beat at this point and took a nap. I walked around the area by the hotel after I woke up. The amount of lights around this area are really amazing.

Nice! Another soft drink challenge! Looks like it was a fun day, but chilly.
I love your early morning shots, the light and shadows on the buildings.
