I can wear my jacket and feel comfortable. So today I am going to meet up with my friend Mari and we're gonna go to Skytree and we're gonna see a few temples and possibly even go to a ramen bowl as they call it. It's like this world competition or something of ramen. Happens every year around this time and today is the last day. So we might go check that out and I would never be opposed to Ramen. So... Yeah... I just need to get some cash at 7-11 first. I have just arrived in Ueno station. Now I have to find my friend the problem is, I do not have any internet connection, wi-fi or anything like that. So I need to find some wi-fi if I cant't find this particular cafe. Oh look at that, I think I found er. That's the cafe. Now I just need to cross the street. Success. Gotta enjoy the little things. Mari! - How are you? - Nice to meet you finally eh? - Nice to meet you. - Oh my god. - You're so tall! - I know! So we just arrived at Tokyo Skytree and... did you know this? It is the second tallest building in the world. - No. - Second tallest. - Where's the first? - The first tallest is the Burj in uhm... What's that? In the Arab Emirates, I can't remember the city. Dubai! I think it's Dubai. - Oh ok. - Yeah Dubai has the largest building so... This surpassed, I think it was Tokyo Tower was the tallest until 2012 3 years ago when this was finished. - 3 years ago? - Yeah 3 years ago. [Man Speaking Japanese] >>Womans Voice: Next stop is the Tokyo Skytree Tembo Deck - It was friggin fast! - Wow! - I didn't feel anything! - I know right! It's so bright. So here at the top... Well this isn't the tippy top. The main deck of Skytree is at 350m which is actually already taller than the tip of Tokyo Tower. Which I can see over there. Over there is Tocho (Tokyo metro gov building) and this is actually a stunning view right now... of the city. The mountains are nice and clear in the distance. However I don't think Mt.Fuji is visible today unfortunately. [music plays] - We're on our way to get some sushi. So this is actually the first time I'm going to eat sushi in Japan. Which is strange since I've been here for 5 days. I did have sashimi at the izakaya. - It's different. - It is different. So this thing behind us right now what is it? - Poop? [laughter] - Apparently it's poop. Golden poop. But I think it's actually Asahis monumnt in Tokyo. - Asahi beer. Yeah there is sushi. Right there. - Sushi? - Ganso sushi. Gan-sushi. - Game on. - What do you think? This? Or there is more expensive one. - It looks good.

The really fatty tuna. - You should try the fatty one first. - You think so? - Yeah. - How do y- You've got a special way to do it. You pull the fish off... - Woah that's a lot of wasabi. I kind of...only the fish. - I'm just gonna do that. Mmm. Oishii. - This plate is 125. So cheap! - That's it? - I think so. - That is cheap! - So cheap. The salmon The Bomb.

You have to wait like 5 minutes. - Looks like I won. - Yeah! [laughs] - Little bit. Just a little bit. - However, I am a foot taller than you. - Cause I'm 5 (feet) - So really, we could probably even out. - Actually yeah. Maybe I won if you think about that. - Well, maybe. I wouldn't take it that far. - 5 feet. - 5 feet! - So. Good enough for 5 feet. - Absolutely. We just finished at kaiten sushi. I dummied that place. Spent 2600 yen. So it was a very expensive meal. The most expensive I've had so far. But it was definitely worth it. I think it was the Otoro. - Otoro. - The maguro was like 600 yen just for that tiny plate. But it was worth it. Next stop.
