I didn’t wake up as late today. And my shower wasn’t as long as Monday or Tuesday. I got my new Pikachu t-shirt on. It had that ‘new shirt smell’. We immediately headed out as soon as I finished eating my

cup noodles which was my breakfast.

Since dad was at work, we had to go to his office and hand him the key. It didn’t take long, and as soon as the key was delivered, we immediately went for the station.

We were going from Suidoubashi to Odaiba-kaihinkōen, which held the SEGA Joypolis and the Legoland Discovery Center.

Unfortunately, we were only able to visit the Legoland Discovery Center due to lack of time. But it was still fun. It wasn’t very interesting at first, but it got better along the way.

There was a ride called ‘Kingdom Quest’, where you rode in a singular car that could fit five people, and would be given laser guns, to shoot at monsters that you pass by during the ride. You gain points per enemy shot, and I got a whopping 137 000 points, probably because I was shooting backwards a lot. I compared to Tristan’s 63 000 points. Mom only got 17 000 points, since she had no idea at what to do at the beginning. There wasn’t that many people, heck there wasn’t even a line. Mom got a key chain with our picture from the 'Kingdom Quest' ride. After that, there was Miniland, which was basically a copy of a large area, in smaller, lego brick form. You could even interact with it using buttons. There was a baseball-themed pinball on it. It was fun for a while.

The next area was this ‘playground’. I didn’t bother with it because I was apparently too tall for it. You had to be a child who was shorter than 140cm to enter. There was also an area where you could build a racecar. That’s where I spent most of my time in.

I took way too long in actually assembling my racecar. Tristan and mom even watched a mini-movie in between, and I still wasn’t finished.

I wasn't able to join Mom and Tristan in this movie

My race car was pretty amazing though. The wheels weren’t just taking two wheels and a brick connected together, and it actually went straight when going down the ramp. That should be an achievement. It was also pretty stabilized. I let it go down the steeper ramp with an elevation at the end, and it stayed intact when it crashed into the wall, except for some loose parts that I slapped on last-second.

After I got bored, I asked my mom if we could go home, but she told me there was a ninja laser thing downstairs. I checked it out, and it was like a scene in the movie where there were lasers sticking out of the walls, used as a security function. A spy would have to get through the corridor without touching any of the lasers, otherwise he would set an alarm off, and he would get caught.It was like that, except it was for fun and without consequence. I seemed hesitant to join in as it seemed like it was for little kids, but I tried it once and it was pretty fun. It was a whole lot harder than it seemed. I could barely do the ‘Rookie’ difficulty without touching any lasers. It baffled me how they expected kids younger than 10 years old to do that. Or maybe they didn’t. It was pretty funny to watch a toddler just charge in without minding the lasers.

I did it for a while, and mom told us it was time to head back, so we did, but not after mom told us to start taking pictures of the statue and other stuff. It kinda pissed me off, since we were supposed to have already in heading home. We met up with dad and ate at Yakitaro, where you were given raw meat and had to cook it yourself. It tasted great, especially with soy sauce.
