The Robots

Yesterday Mel's father and I went to the Robot Museum and store situated in Sakae in Nagoya. The store has a wide variety of robot based merchandise priced from a few dollars and going way up. If you want a present for anybody interested in robot based toys including amime, this is a great option.

Our first stop in the museum was a ride of the Segway, a two wheel self balancing one person transport. Although it takes a little getting used to, it was fun. The rest of the museum has exhibits of the history of robots in the media and in reality. Its surprising how many robot concepts started in film and are now starting to be seen in reality, although I think I would be worried if some of the super robot anime designs started to show up.

Actually Mel (Mummy Mel), where are any pics... ? You wouldn't guess he lives with a professional (ok - ex-pro) photographer would you!

Maybe if we both keep bugging him...
