    Re: Hello From Tokyo....

    You have to go to Akihabra. It is known as the "Electric Town" it is in Tokyo. My wifey is from Japan, so I get to go at least once a year. Best and safest country on earth.

        Man post any great spots you recommend etc. I'm stopping over in Tokyo for 3 days before heading to Europe on a work trip at the end of April so any impressions or recommendations you can provide would be great.

          I always said to myself that if I had to live anywhere outside of America, it would be Japan.

                If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                      Everything is seafood down there because the Japanese decimate the ocean. Going to the Seafood market has to be kinda cool but extremely sad, they have no regulations (or they dont follow them).

                      If you see some place selling shark Fin soup go yell at the manager and get all puffy.

                      Sorry rant over.

                        I can buy shark fin soup here in Denver at the Hong Kong-style restaurants. Some of it is sustainable, most of it is not. That's the least of the concern as far as overfishing/environmental damage though, as sharks aren't a huge market, even in Asia.

                        The methods are what is really messing things up -- the deep trawling ruins the seafloor. Tuna is the fish that's really getting decimated, just because they're fishing so much of it and they take a while to mature. And salmon, but that's not as much Japan's problem as it is North America's.

                        Eat mussels if you're fiending for seafood -- totally sustainable, healthy (no chemicals/mercury like wild seafood) and the farmed ones taste just as good as wild... plus, they're easy to make.

                          the finning of over a hundred million sharks for there fins is not a small problem.

                              Yeah, I didn't mean to downplay the situation... it clearly needs more regulation, as this story highlights: http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/12/1...as-witnessing/

                              "After filming all I could stomach, I returned to the boat. Enraged, I wanted to do something. Certainly this reckless harvesting must be illegal. Our guide Andy then informed me that the fisherman had presented a legal shark fishing permit which for $30 granted him the right to fin sharks for 30 days. Quick math revealed 10 sharks per day times 30 days, or 300 sharks for $30."

                              That ain't right, clearly. But my point was that killing sharks (or any one type of animal en masse) isn't nearly the concern that wholesale reef destruction is, which is what is happening with unregulated deep-sea fishing that happens in many Asian fisheries.

                              Here's a handy guide to the environmental responsibility of various types of fish for anyone who is interested: http://www.edf.org/page.cfm?tagID=1521
