Stuff we did the day before today

Yesterday we went to Odaiba. It was quite nice. We finally got to a museum that wasn:t closed! We went to the museum of science and innovation or something, and it was awesome!

10 minutes after we arrived the Honda ASIMO robot did a demonstration. I was so excited to see ASIMO in real life!! He kicked a soccer ball and ran a bit. No stairs though. He must save that for more important occasions. There was also a superconductor demonstration and some other robot demos. It would be nice if they had awesome museums like that here in australia.

They had some cool exhibitions on the international space station, and human senses and particle physics. I enjoyed them. The staff were nice and helpfull. Also chris and I got to controll a virtual reality simulator to control a robot. That was pretty exciting. I was excited.

After the museum, we stopped by the Toyota Mega Web showroom. I took a ride in an electric car that drove itself around the showroom. That was kinda cool.

We also walked around the park in the area which was nice. For some reason they have a replica of the statue of liberty there.

At night we hung around shimbashi station for a while. We went to the suntory bar and drank whisky and ate takoyaki. The takoyaki were really good. The whisky was alright. We were interviewed by some people with a camera about our thoughts on whisky and takoyaki.

Oh well - better go have a shower. Not sure what is in stall for today, but I need to buy another SD card! after 2600 photos the card finally ran out of room. WHOOOPS!!!!!

Did I mention that I bought an alien costume?
