Summer - Tokyo Day 2 - Tsukiji Fish Market, Akihabara, Ueno,Tokyo Tower

 today is the 2nd day for me... gonna try the famous sushi dai where many bloggers, food tasters, n etc had announce its' greatness... i meet someone who went to tsukiji fish market and they told me that there's no crowd on weekday... >.> i forgot that i'm going on a Saturday.. yeah... big major mistake... which made me left my hotel abit later... then got lost by turning right instead of left... wasted about 10-15minutes before i managed to find the actual fish market that i'm suppose to go...
