TeamLab Planet- AMAZING!

Today we caught a special train- driverless, so pretty much a robot train. We sat at the very front and it was really exciting. We were on a mission to see this really cool art museum and boy was it fun! There were 2 different rooms. The first was a garden with orchids hanging from the roof. It looked like a wave of flowers. The floors were mirrors and when you looked down it was an infinite number of yourself. There was also a water room that was definitely my favourite. You had to walk up a ramp that had a constant stream of water flowing down. At the end was a waterfall, thankfully you didn't have to walk through that. We walked into a space that was like a maze of LED lights that looked like crystals. And what was super cool was at the end you got to a room that you could control the lights with a panel. You picked a star and it projected onto the lights. We walked through a pitch black room that was made of pillows and beanbags but you couldn't stop and lay down! Then there was a room that reminded me of the movie Inside Out. It was huge balloons that changed colour. You could push and kick them around. I had fun in this room. The next room was flooded with water up to our knees. Koi were projected onto the water surface. A cool thing about this was that the koi reacted to the movement of people in the room. It wasn't a loop projection and it will never be replicated again. Awesome to be in.
The last room was weird and made me feel super dizzy because it had pictures moving and the floor was moving.
I really liked TeamLab Planet and I would love to show other people.
In the evening we went out to dinner to our old mate Godzilla in Shinjuku. It was great to go back and it was one of the things I remember the most from when we were here last time.
Walking through Shinjuku was like walking into the future. Lots of flashing lights and tall buildings everywhere. A bit overwhelming!Read more
