Sumo!

Today was an early day to wake up because we were on our way to pick up our Sumo tournament tickets. This was going to be my first sumo match I've ever watched live in person and I was pretty excited but still sleepy too.Before the sumo tournament later that afternoon some of my classmates and I headed towards the museum  that showed us the history of Tokyo. The museum was pretty informative, we got to see the early living conditions in early Japan and also some of the older toys they use to play with. After the museum the group and I headed to the Sumo tournament. When arriving we saw several sumo wrestlers and some of them we could take pictures with! Once we got inside I saw my first sumo match and it was great. I saw the rituals they do before they wrestle then was able to watch a serious of matches where the sumo's went at it. The Sumo tournament was an experience that I will never forget and was pretty enjoyable to watch.
