2 notes for you..

a) I hope you got there in the early am to figure it out, but Tsukiji is the area not just one single market. More like a lot of little businesses set up around the docks where the fishing boats come in.

b) Most lose "Gaijin" complexes after about 2-3 years living here. Most stated reason: the novelty of it wears off.

Good luck in making it that far..

I did go early enough I actually made a video if you wanted to check it out called "Tsukiji Fish Market" It was great. I saw the other shops you were talking about. I have pretty much gotten over the Gaijin complexes since I have a better understanding of Japan and the culture. Thanks for the comment!

It almost scared me when I saw the tag "dancing". I was sooooooo hoping you hadn't resorted to dancing for "us". Very nice to see that it was you dancing for you (if that makes sense). Looking forward to the fish market (without the smells =)). Thanks again for a fun post.

Wonderful comment! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the "dancing"! HAHA

WOW thank you very very much for wanna to check out the fishmarket, and I'm truly sorry that you have to get up at 4.30 in the morning but I think you're great doing this for us, Tubers!!

[sumrhotsumrnot]

NO prob....I am excited to do it and I'm glad you want to see it, but I just need to find the time so I can sleep the rest of the day HAHA.

You'er the one who need get out of Japan.

Dude, I can't understand why you can make that kind of comment while your girlfriend is from New Zealand.

I'm ashamed to see a maniac like you, having the same nationality as mine.

Japan is really what you make of it. I've been here seven months, speak only a little bit of the language, have the 'gaijin complex' described in this video, and most other gaijin seem to have a strange fascination with me too. They insist on knowing my story, which as an American, I have no problem talking about myself and gladly indulge them. They're often disappointed. When little kids stare at me, I make faces at them and when they smile, it makes me happy.

[naoimis]

hi!! i'm an exchange student from japan. i stay in USA. when i am walking in shopping moll, some people say oh!! Chinese!! i like china. but my feeling is not good. i think if i were you, i feel same.

Ok, well.. this really applies to any foreign country. Every country I've visited there has been a "Gaigin" complex. Are they tourists? Are they students on visas? Are they residents? You never really know. You just have to remain open and ready to communicate with everyone. Even if you're "unique."
