Day 4 - Maccas / Sushi Dai (fish market) / Harajuku / Fujiko

What a DAY! How can a day go wrong when it starts off with Maccas! HA!
Check out that 'M' on the burger.. that was Min's burger and the burger bun was a sweet bun with bacon and eggs.. was strange but different!



We then went to Daimon train station to go to the fish markets. This was a day pass ticket, which allowed us to catch the train anywhere as many times as we wanted. But it did take about 10mins before we got it, just because we didn't know what ticket to get and what was the cheapest way of getting around.
Us on the train.. I think we're always the loudest on the train because no one talks or moves on the train. They're very proper and as Dave pointed out yesterday, they always sit exactly the way they should sit; straight - knees together - with the hands on their lap.


We reached Tsikiyatakshioweijfosidjfoise station (forgot what the station name was called, i think it started with 'T') and walked to the fish market.

It took us 15mins to find this Sushi Dai because we were given the wrong instructions, but after asking 2 old men, 2 young girls and one more man who owned another restaurant, we eventually found SUSHI DAI, which Steph and Tanga recommended for us to try! So we did.. and as pre-warned Steph said to be willing and ready to wait for 2hrs to get in.. and we did! It took us 2 hrs in the line before we ate there..  That's why Dave looks so serious in the picture.. haha.. jokes bro!! - actually this is the exact place that Dave received some FANTASTIC NEWS!!! All will be told when we get back!!!

They had 2 types of menus. Dave and I got the 'TRUST THE CHEF' Course!!!


So here are some pics to tantalise your taste buds! Just one word to sum it up-- FRESH AS!!!! Sorry 2 words because that's how FRESH it was!!!

Oh and did i mention how small this place was? Twas SMALL!

This was a live octopus that he just killed and cut and served to us!
 



We then caught the train again to Yoyogi Station and decided to walk to Harajuku, which was mentioned that it took 15mins to walk. So we walked and walked... and walked.. oh and did i say we walked?.. for about 1 hour.. until we reached HARAJUKU! Thank to my loving bro Dave that was a long 15mins.. hehe

We made it to Harajuku!! Takeshita St - a market style street.. was heaps long!!

We walked into one of the shops and Samantha found this on the wall.. number 76 is what?.. 'rapping paper'? HAHA! YO YO WASSUP!!!

Yeh.. that's what i thought too!

Yeh i thought that too.. um.. Rena? Roy?
We hit a few streets of shops.. very nice street.. and we came across one of Minessa's favourites.. yep 'Forever 21'.. a huge 5 story shop just for Forever 21! With one level for Men.. and 4 levels for Women! Was a great shop to shop at! Had A LOT OF STUFF!!

All of us then went to met with one of Ps. Sam and Ps. Aileen's friend Fujiko who lives in Japan and her husband owns a restaurant here in Japan. He cooked us some AWESOME FOOD! So AWESOME that i forgot to take photos of all the GOOD ONES! haha! They were such a nice couple! I think we're going to go back to their restaurant in a few days time..
