The day started with breakfast and after cleaning up the dining place, everyone took the bus to Universal Studios Japan (USJ). USJ is a dream-filled theme park where we enjoyed a variety of theme rides inspired by world famous movies, animations and comic series. Here, we experienced the thrill and excitement of the fantastically imaginative worlds of famous blockbuster movies today.
We were already excited when we arrived at the carpark and we could already feel the thrill spreading throughout the bus even before we alighted! Rides such as Hollywood Dream, The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman and Jurassic Park were enjoyable for both young and old. They left many Cubs, Scouts and Leaders screaming throughout the ride. The main course for lunch for most of us was a grilled Turkey Leg just outside the Jurrasic Park ride. Truly an experience, we felt like carnivourous dinosaurs devouring the huge leg!
Other then the rides, there were also familiar characters from cartoons like Popeye and Betty Boop, who walked around posing for commemorative photos. Although the Christmas Parade was cancelled due to strong winds, we saw the colossal Christmas tree that was wonderfully decorated. The shops there sold many things that attracted us and we had already started to buy gifts for our family.Look out for more regular updates tomorrow, as we remain in-camp to meet our counterparts from all over Osaka and have two days of combined activities with them.
Oyasuminasai, good night.
