While we were in Tokyo, we went to Odaiba a large artificial island in Tokyo bay which is a popular shopping and entertainment district.
Let me post here some interesting characters that can be found on the island / inside the various malls:
In front of the building "DiverCity Tokyo Plaza" you can find the life-sized "Gundam" statue.
Inside the shopping mall called "Decks Tokyo Beach", there is a retro amusement arcade (called "game center" ゲームセンター in Japanese) on the 4th floor.
Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom 鉄腕アトム) hanging from the ceiling.
I like this game whack-a-mole the most! In Japanese it's called "mogura-tataki" モグラたたき.
Look at these ugly characters! Who wants them?! They are apparently called "kakuremomojiri" カクレモモジリ...
A claw machine where you can catch vegetable key chains... Er, no thanks again! ;)
These polar bears' statue nearby "Aquacity Odaiba" looked so sad that they made me sad, too... When I first saw it, I could imagine why they were crying...
They are brothers - the younger one is called Sora, the older one Bea - living in the North Pole. They are crying because they got separated from their mother when the ice cap melted and the gaps in the ice opened up due to the global warming... Sora and Bea are the characters of a children's book about climate Change.
When I watched this video, I had to cry...
It's so sad... And even though the story of Sora and Bea is a fiction, global warming is a serious problem and many polar bears (and other animals...) are suffering and dying. Our earth is in danger because of us human... :'( Only we can help them!
We should be all conscientious about the environment and NEVER waste anything (water, electricity, food, etc.)!!!!
