Today we did one of the coolest things that I could have imagined when coming to Tokyo. We went to sumo match. There is nothing like watching enormous fat men in thongs running into each other. It was exactly how you would think it was. Before the sumo, we had our third lecture by Professor Nakamura. It was one of the best lectures that I have ever attended. He was well spoken, extremely interested in his subject area, and entertaining. After the lecture we went to Akihabara, better knows as electric town. It was full of electronic stores, video game arcades, and five story sex stores. Seems like a strange mix, but all in all it seemed like a pretty cool place. After this is when we went to SUMO. I was so excited to go and it lived up to all of my expectations and more. Towards the end, we ended up betting 10 yen on who was going to win the match, based just on the looks and size of them. I think I ended up down 10 yen. Afterwards Professor Walin took us to his favorite Chinese restaurant. The food was amazing. Afterwards we came back and worked on our policy research and studied for the quiz on the Nathan Book. Even though it ended with studying, I think this was my favorite day in Japan thus far.
