Day 10 in Tokyo: Ok…one might wonder, really? Is there a need to go to the same place twice??? I get it but our girls really like Kidzania and I sort of think of Kidzania as a fun yet educational outing; plus they get a lot of Japanese. One would think that the zupervisors, as they are called, get paid by how much they talk because they yap continuously. I must admit I get impatient watching them explain to the kids…I’m usually thinking to myself “Just get on with the task already!!” (definitely not the spirit of Kidzania and Japan…)
The girls loved it and it may have been one of their favorite Kidzania days. Both girls loved playing photographer or as they call them in Japan – cameraman. They both had huge smiles on their faces (it also may be because they get to tote around and use real SLR cameras – we don’t let them touch ours…) They got to be vets, couriers, manicurists, mechanic and emts – they learned CPR and performed it many times on a dummy!
By the way, if as a parent you get bored watching your kids have all the fun, you can leave them in Kidzania, as long as one adult in the group stays behind, and venture out to the mall. I did just that and got some shopping done at Kinokuniya bookstore next door.
After a fun but exhausting day at Kidzania, we went back to Roppongi to meet friends at a park near Roppongi Hills. We’ve dubbed it the slide park because there are so many slides. The park is a lot of fun. The kids definitely had fun – they were so dirty with mud all over them (from running and sliding up the hill) to prove it.
We went back to our place and ordered in pizzas from Pizza Hut. The pizzas are just OK but we did get a chance to try interesting flavors that one would never find in the States. We finished the evening with cake for our older girl’s birthday (her actual birthday is the next day). All in all, a great day.
