First trip to Odaiba (aka Diver City)

June 11th 2016

We made our first venture to one of the cities major tourist centers, Odaiba aka Diver City. I’ve wanted to visit this site ever since I saw a photo of a life size Mobile Suit Gundam.

For those not as familiar with Japanese culture, Mobile Suit Gundam was an anime TV series. Check out the Wikipedia Mobile Suit Gundam webpage for all the details.

I’m not sure what goes on in here….

A face only a mother could love….

Ready to fight!!!

Cirque du Soleil was in town. I wonder if they speak Japanese.

Next door there is a museum of historic cars, mostly Japanese. They didn’t make the Delorean though…

Furniture shopping is so exhausting…. Wait, I’m mean working on all the job placements and Japanese language class homework is so exhausting…

They have a Gundam light show and the Gundam moves…

All lit up

Lighted stair way

I didn’t realize the Japanese were so advanced in their transportation options.

Can you tell J is 8 1/2 months pregnant?

More mysterious from this angle.

Wait, where are we again?

Um…..

Tokyo Tower all aglow in the distance.
