Sumo

This Sunday we have tickets to the final day of Sumo in the January tournament. Six tournaments are held every year, each one lasting 15 days. Three of the tournaments are held in Tokyo (January, May, September). I didn't get to go to September's so this will be Kenn and my first Sumo experience. Should be fun!

The basic rules of sumo are simple: The wrestler who either first touches the floor with something else than his sole or leaves the ring before his opponent, loses. The fights themselves usually last only a few seconds and in rare cases up to one minute or longer.

If we can get wake up early enough tomorrow, we plan to try to go to the famous fish market for a look around and the freshest sushi breakfast imaginable. :) Tonight we're staying in for a Lost Season 1 marathon. We're already through the first disc.
