Japan - Day 5

We went to Yokohoma in the morning which is a city about 45 min away from Tokyo. They had a musuem dedicated to ramen and one for curry but unfortunately we didn't have to the time to check them out...

because we had to get back to Tokyo for a sumo match. Sumo matches are only held 3 times a year and we were lucky enough to be there when a match was going on. We bought the cheap seats and because we went to a match on Monday night it wasn't as booked so we were able to move down into the box seats. I was going in expecting sumo players to just be overweight guys banging around in the ring but some of them were ripped and they were all pretty tall...the good ones seem to be from eastern europe and not necessarily asian.
