Robots and Sea Urchin

Took an Uber to a new part of the City I haven’t explored yet and saw some really cool stuff. Tiny coffee shops, tiny restaurants where it is just a chef and two chairs, some really cool shops, and… a Robot Cafe! Was pretty funny. There are humans controlling the robots from somewhere so they respond and interact like a real server. They follow lines painted on the floor that have QR codes at different tables. Pretty neat and definitely funny. I then decided to explore the famous Tsukiji Nippon Fish Market. Wow, what an experience! So many alleys, really weird foods, fish I have never seen or heard of before, some amazing smells and some not so amazing smells, and a ton of people doing business. I decided to try some of the weird foods I saw even though I certainly didn’t want to. First up was sea urchin which I did not like at all. I tried a few bites but it definitely didn’t grow on me. Next, I saw a line of people getting what looked like some type of custard on a stick so I got in line and got one. I’m still not sure what it was but it was cold and a cross between a fried egg and a popsicle? I still was unhappy about my choice trying the sea urchin so I got myself a little ice cream cone to end the Fish Market :) Fun day so far! Soooo hot! Can’t help but take a break in the hotel room mid-day because it’s just too hot outside.
