The Sumo Tournament was 5 hours long!
One on one, winner stays till the next round it went. At the end a young wrestler upset the reigning champ. And pillows all flew to the stage from the box seats. We thought they were unhappy, but they throw the cushions at the stage when they are very pleased.
I have no idea what I had for lunch, we’re still getting by by pointing at menu photos. Dinner was in a Chinese restaurant – nothing like the Chinese stateside. I’ve no idea what that was either but it was great.
No one speaks a word of English outside Toyko, and fewer people do in the city than you’d think.
