Niigata aquarium...

This morning I felt good when I woke up. My first night I slept through since arriving in Japan. After having breakfast we walked through Niigata looking for something great without finding it. We walked for hours, went to the sea, the Aquarium, visited temples and parks. Apart from a couple of temples the city had nothing to offer. Too bad... I guess the north just isn't that happening after all.
After a few hours we gave up and went for a nap in our hotel which had windows facing a wall 3 feet away, and I felt really weak from my illness.
Around 8PM I felt strong enough to go out again, we found this fantastic sushi bar where we spent the evening eating and drinking. The sushi chef you see on the photo clearly was the boss.
The boss boss.
He kept all the orders which were randomly shouted at him from customers and still knew exactly who had what. He took orders, arranged them beautifully, and did the bill at the end, without taking notes - how could he, he was constantly busy producing the food.
How he did all this is beyond me.
We went to bed around 2AM, totally drunk.
