Japan - May 2014

[Giles]

Tsukiji Fish Market

This time, for some reason, I was more interested in the tools of the trade than the fish.

Knives for sale

I thought this one was long

Until we saw these 2 knives here, The one on the left, we estimated it to be 6 feet long….

Not surprised you were interested in the knives, they look very tempting.

[Max Power]

Yes, indeed. You should bring some over here

@Giles:

There is a large window looking into the drivers compartment on carriage 1…

@Giles:

UHF 2014 styley…

These are great. If possible, please make a work shirt out of one of them as well

[Giles]

We have no fabric available.  We had to commit to fabric production 8 weeks ago otherwise they would have been a Winter/Spring release…..

[Max Power]

Hope you do enough black and green ones These are my favorites that season.

i had the same thought in regard to the greyish one.

& G$, you know me.  i always figure it never hurts to ask.

@Giles:

but personally I love the constant barrage of announcements you get on Japanese public transport….

Great video, I too love it. I also love how every station has it's own sound. Yoyogi! Yoyogi!

I have a Yamanote line alarm clock that plays all the jingles, I wake up happy every day

@madmonday:

These are great (re: UHFs)

Aren't they? I see a trifecta in my future.

[Giles]

@Giles:

Why do these make me think of this?

Used to be this bar out in Ichikawa called the Crazy Cactus. Originally owned by a gaijin, but later bought by a bit of an eccentric Japanese guy. He decked the place out in aquariums and crayfish ponds. And also a large screen and projector. Whenever I went in for a beer he'd have a DVD of a rural train journey going. Like Giles vid, but for hours upon hours. No wonder he went out of business.
