Sumo

Mike and I took a trip downtown to see some Sumo. Half these pictures where taken with the iPhone and half with the good camera. 

Not sure his name, but people wanted pictures with him so we figured we would too.

We went early in the day, so we missed some of the best wrestlers. They go later in the evening. It was nice though, because we got to go down close and sit. If we had gone later we would have had to sit upstairs.

In action

Some of these guys were able to lift their legs pretty high. I didn't realize how hard it actually is until I tried it though. Try it. It's harder than you think!

They look like line backers.

I didn't get the rest of this, but the huge guy smashed the little guy like a pancake. It looked like he knocked him out for a second.

Look how huge the guy walking down in front is! And how high the one in the ring is getting his leg!

Around noon, we went downstairs to eat Sumo soup. There was a huge line for it.

This was seriously some of the best soup.

This was a picture at the event. Mike thinks it's a body fat indicator. Whatever it is, looks pretty funny.

Huge guy!

Another huge guy!

At the train station, rubbing the lucky sumo butts.

Digital vending machine

Everyburger candy. It was actually really good.

We stopped in Akihabara on our way back. It's the electronic district in Tokyo.

I was trying to get a picture of her, but she didn't want me taking her picture.

They sold all kinds of random stuff. Some of this stuff was super expensive. We joked that it was just a front for drug selling.

We stopped and got some curry. Don't know what the name of it is but we are calling it "Gorilla Curry."

One of the best curries we've had.

Can you see the girl on the second floor with the tambourine? One of the same girls from earlier. When she saw me trying to take a picture, she would duck back inside.

Glad we got to go see some Sumo while we were here.
