Earthquakes + Robots

There is a small tucked away Fire station offering emergency training. We decide to go and get 'prepped' as far as possible in Japanese, in earthquakes.

After a few video's, and a slow translator session (We had hitched onto the back of an american tour group who had their own 'shaky' translator).

We got try some bigger quakes!

The affair was quite short and intense, and the golden rule in every situation? Jump under a table.

Next we decided to go for some higher tech science.

Odaiba Science museum!

There was some amazing experiential (for adults) exhibitions.

This world periodically lit up with various information about the world stats, and you can view all kids of options through these below, from current directions, to populations to wild fire locations etc.

There was a little bit of information overload.

Giant marble runs you can play with to explain the internet.

Completely automated robot newsreaders that take their information from breaking news and chat about it.

Some of the androids are suspiciously life-like, and the moulding process is taken as casts from real people. The facial movements are amazing.

There there is this guy!

The singing, football playing star attraction of robotics.

You get explore the inside of space shuttles too, shame there is no anti-gravity :)

The concepts were all a little more in-depth than most museums, and they focussed on cutting edge rather than historic, or basics.

We ended with a treat.

These places are amazing. Ice-cream and cake, wrapped in a warm giant pancake. If they don't open one in the UK soon, I may need to start a petition.
