They're still in Japan.   Ninja and Special K take in a Kyoto light show.    They also wander into an open air taiko drumming performance in Osaka.

Special Mattcha Chocolate Pastry

Ninja and Special K wanted to give you the highlights of their trip to Japan, but only got as far as the desserts in Omotesando Hills and the sukiyaki at Yoshinoya . All they could talk about was the food.  Ninja shares a soundscape from Omotesando shopping centres.

Special K's New Travel Bolt Cutters

Special K takes charge and gets industrial bolt cutters from the hotel in Kyoto to cut the lock off Ninja's suitcase. Everyone in the lobby claps.  Then they get real quiet and head off to major meditation spots in Kyoto to find satori.  Ninja is hypnotized by a Buddhist monk who reads translated Japanese public health pamphlets to her and is only released from his powerful mind grip when she agrees that his English is flawless.

Octopus and Squid at Tsukiji

Amid water, ice, and seafood guts, Ninja and Special K get up at a freakishly early hour to catch the action at the largest fish market in the world. Tsukiji Market is found in the heart of Tokyo, Japan.  Special K pulls up her socks and rolls up her pants while dodging the seafood transport scooters to experience the most fun you can have at 5:30 in the morning.
