Sushi Day!
$59.76. That is how much I spent of Sushi for breakfast. Please keep in mind that this is no ordinary sushi. This is the freshest sushi available on May 17th 2006. Today we are at the fish market, and I mean: THE FISH MARKET. During the night fishermen are out doing their jobs and in the morning they come to the fish market to auction off their best catch. The fish market is dark, really dark. I guess they keep it that way so that the fish isn’t exposed to direct sunlight that might cause the fish to decay faster. Its moist, but the air is surprisingly free of that funny fish smell. As you walk through the market Styrofoam cases are stacked to either side of you. Each case is filled with ice and today’s catch.
Yuri, Travis, Shawn, and I had perhaps the best sushi you can ever have for just $59.76. Now, I couldn’t quite remember what I had and this is probably due to the fact that I was in sushi heaven. I really didn’t take time to figure out what was going into my mouth. I just pointed to what looked good and shoved it in. I remember living in Japan when I was sixteen and being forced to learn Japanese. I also remember going to college in Japan to study Japanese as well as taking Japanese here at UVM. But for some reason, I just couldn’t speak Japanese while I was at the sushi shop. The only form of communication that I could manage was pointing and nodding. It’s funny how food can make you an idiot. Now that I can think more clearly about it, I only had 8-10 pieces of sushi. At $59.76 for only 8 pieces of sushi was definitely worth it.
