*Day 3*

They decided to dropby the Tsukiji Fish Market, try to mingle with their locals. Just for a change.


On the way to the subway station, Piddles caught a whiff of the aromatic coffee and couldn't resist getting a cup to go. Even though she is feeling hungry already..
Their own version of "Starbucks". With a cute ladybug sticker to prevent the coffee from spilling.

Stepped into the cabin & saw this. "When located at the rear end of the train, this car is for Women Only on weekdays for all trains between 7.30 - 9.00Am. All passengers can ride this car from 9.00Am."
Forgot to tell you guys taking the subway during the morning peak hours can be a nightmare, specially for the ladies as you will be literally squashed like sardines in a can. Trust the management to come up with this ingenious idea for the ladies who don't have to worry about any outrages of modesty & can ride in peace. :)
Saw this cute building. They really will make use of any reminding space for more buildings. :P
Their "wet market".

Just looking at their varieties of fish cakes are mouthwatering.
So Piddles got Roy to get for her a pack of six to go. Couldn't wait anymore, must eat on the spot!
Mountains of styrofoam boxes used to store the fresh fishes. Can you imagine the amount of fishes that come in & out of the market each day?!!
Salted fish that doesn't smell like one at all! Piddles walked real close just to sniff at them. :)
A place for the folks to rest their tired feet after marketing.
All the tuna spare parts. Their heads (huge!) are surprisingly cheap, will make a nice claypot of curry fish head. Mmmm!!

Anyone fancies some eyeballs?? O_o
So they were feeling terribly hungry again & went looking for food. Saw this long Q at a ramen store so decided to try if it's nice.
It's a stand, eat & go concept so guess since we're there, have to blend in! :)
Looking at the thick slices of char siew swimming in the overflowing broth is making Piddles clap with joy!
But still bearing for a photo moment before digging in.

Down to the last drop. Pure Heaven :)~~


Looking like aunties with our bags of foodstuff. :D

Schoolgirls snoozing in their short skirts.

Piddles in the train with Roy, wheeeew!
They're famous for their miniature toys, painstakingly done to the last detail. Fascinating.
And also famous for their expensive fruits! Like the nice purple fruit (seriously dunno what it is) cost S$8 a piece.

Chanced upon a wholesale shop & getting excited about it!
Bought so much that we had to get a box for them. Just like ikea, we can pack & tied up to go. They got lotsa leftover boxes, so nice can recycle this way.
Most of the locals bought the foodstuff to be sent to their hometowns in the countryside. For us, it'll be airflown back to sin, hee..

Dinner that day is curry rice again with lotsa corn & sausages! She is one happy Piddles! :)


Hoops, Yoyo & Piddles are waiting back in the hotel lying on Stinky having a rolling good time. :D
