Magi Quest

In the past 2 weeks i went to magi quest twice. One time with just my mom and once with my friend Kaz. Magi Quest is a place in Tokyo Dome (Tokyo Dome is 7 stops on the subway from our house with no transfers). There are Magi Quests around the world, but the Tokyo one is the biggest.


Magi Quest is a big indoor place where you use a wand interact with "creatures" and try to become a Master Magi.

In Magi Quest there are different clans, Warrior, Woodsy, Trixter, Shadow, and Majestic. Each clan has a different section, Warrior = 1/2 castle, Woodsy = treehouse, Trixter = maze, Shadow = dungeon and majestic = 1/2 of castle. There were big stones in the middle with commuters on it where you can get quests. On one side was the castle. Behind the castle was the dungeon. Behind the castle on the second floor was the maze. On the other side of the stones was the tree house on the second floor.*

All the things you talk to are on a screen. Like dragons, trolls and master magi.The wands are really cool. I have a dragon head topper on my wand. When I shake it, it lights up.  With your wand you can make things open, move and make noise. The best thing is you don't lose your progress. The whole magi quest thing is inside.

I really like the maze. There where many illusions like mirrors and slanted floors. There was a harp that played itself too. My least favorite part was the dungeon. There was a sleeping dragon, the king troll, skeletons, eyeballs in a box and some weird room that hisses.


The goal is to finish the dragon adventure where you fight the dragon. To do that you must do the other adventurers. The other adventures are Pixie, Duel master, Unicorn and king troll. You help the Pixie, you listen to the Duel master, I don't know what you do for the unicorn and you fight the king troll.  To do the adventures you need runes. A rune is a stone with a symbol on it that gives you power. To get runes you must do quests which you get at the stones in the middle.


I want to go again. I only finished one adventure. The Pixie. This place is a place where you can come again and again and it will still be fun.

*If you go to one not in Tokyo the red stuff might not be like this.

Disney Sea

This week I went to DisneySea. It was not that Mickey (there wasn't that many characters) and has more rides. Here are some of the rides.

Favorite - My favorite ride was Journey to the Center of the Earth. The ride was based on the book and the movie. We get in this big line and wait a longgggggg time (about 40 minutes, but with a fast pass it was about 10) and then you get in this crazy elevator with a bunch of other people and go down really fast into another line. Then to get in the ride you get in to a mine cart that looks like this...

First we go all happy through a crystal cavern with a bunch of fake gems. Then we go into blackness. We come out in a magical forest with plants that look like brains and birds etc etc... Then we go into blackness again and come out by a big tree in a lightning storm ( but I don't know how there is lightning underground ) .  We go straight into a black room filled with things that look like eggs. The last room we go through is home to a thing that looks like a giant spider crossed with a Dino. Then there is a blast of fire ( I always sat on the wrong side ) and we shoot up. We come to the real world go down and do this again a lot.

Least favorite - My least favorite ride was Aquatopia. My dad and I went alone. You get in this bumper-car thing, only in water. We basically just spin around, move somewhere and stop. Then out of nowhere a hose sprays you. We do this pattern again. Then we go back to the dock and we got out. We got soaked! This was a bad ride for the day because it was really cold and drizzling, and we did not dry fast.

Weirdest - The weirdest ride was Indiana Jones - The Temple of the Crystal Skull. First we go into a weird line. The line was in a temple with skeletons everywhere. The roller coaster car looks like a Jeep. When we found the treasure we got blasted ( by light ) . Then when we tried to cross a bridge an eyeball came out of nowhere and blasted right in front of us. When we came back to that spot we saw the eyeball was part of a giant face and we saw it blast some other Jeep. Then we went down this weird black tunnel and there was this face that yelled something in Japanese and red fog came from its mouth and .................

................. we spun around again. The last and most weird thing was when we went down this tunnel and Indiana Jones was hanging by a rope. Then a bolder came crashing down so our Jeep went back and down a hidden passage. When it went light again there was a hole in the wall with a cracked bolder and Indiana Jones standing there.

Disney sea was really fun except for the rain and Aquatopia. You should come.

Robots

A week ago I went to the museum of future science with my friend Ryo. There was too much to describe so I will only talk about the robots.

The first robot we saw was Asimo. He was human (ish) looking but he was all white and his face was all black. He could walk and run and hop and a lot of other things. One time he even did sign- language to a song. The sitting space was so empty that we could lay down but by the time that the show started it was jam packed.

The next robot we saw was a lady robot. The lady robot looked really much more like a real person. It was more detailed than Asimo and had hair and nails and all those tiny details. I saw a video of the person it was modeled off, dipping their arm in goo that hardened, like a wax hand. They did this for the whole face. Its skin was like rubber. There was a demonstration where it talked. It was asking questions and answering  questions. Then this guy stepped out of a box as big as a bathroom stall ( though not as smelly ) which was the control center. The guy was making it talk, move its head and change expressions. Then everyone got to control it for 3 minuets.

The next robot was a baby robot. It was like a baby but with no legs. The baby robot had barely any human details. It had no fingers. No eye lashes, no eyebrows to make it look human. The face had none of those details but it had a mouth, nose and 2 eyes. The body just looked like a white blob. We got to control that one too. This one moved its head and hugged.

Ryo and I controlled both robots. First I did the lady ( my mom called me lucy ). I really messed up because I did not press the button on the top of the head set so I could not move my (robot) head and I could not change expressions. Then I did the baby. I learned from my mistakes so I did better. The baby did not seem to be moving its head though.

The last robot was more like a remote control car but it was different. It looked like a dome 1 1/2 feet long with 4 wheels on each side. The wheels where not on one long axle per 2 wheels, it was a short axle per one wheel. First the controller drove it around. Then it went higher. The slanted wheels went straight. Then it did something even weirder. It balanced on 4 wheels and the other 4 turned onto the axle and then so did the other 4. Then it walked around like a spider ( see video below ) .

This place was really fun to go to and if you come to Japan you should go there. In the far future if you see these thing as cars or adopted robots remember they were all part of this museum.
