thursday 1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 c'mon, the idea is to eat fresh scraps on rice at the side stalls for 600Yen. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah, that's always been the attraction for the locals. Like eating sushi at the Sydney fish markets. When I was passsing through Tokyo last August I saw the news. What really pissed off the Tsukiji people was a group of drunken Brit tourist who grabbed a trolly and went off... They basically don't want alcohol and cameras intruding into their WORK PLACE. The wording was; No respectable distance from the cameras. At some time in the past the place went into lonely planets and english tourist mags and things went out of hand. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The Brits take that as part of their holiday experience. Much like Japanese have to buy LV in London. And Chinese buy everything in hong kong Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 And it sure ain't 600 yen anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 don't think they were tourists, they looked like they were tokyo residents that went there after a night out, lets not tar all of Britain with their brush Link to post Share on other sites
so desu ne 0 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 "Gaikokujin manner mondai" (Problems with foreigners manners) just on the tv news here now how Tsukiji has been hitting the news recently. I can never get up early enough. And the smell of fish that early on. Doesn't sound good to me. Link to post Share on other sites
