The 1:1 Scale Gundam

As the 30th anniversary of the Gundam is coming. Last Sunday, I’ve gone to see the 1:1 scale Gundam at the Daiba. I got there at the early morning, but there were a large crowed have gathered around the huge 18m-height Gundam already, furthermore, even more people queued up from the shop what sells the 30th anniversary’s memorial items such as models, T-shirts, official books, post cards, etc.
After taking a bit of pictures of the huge Gundam, I began to join the queue. At the rear of the queue, there was a staff held a sign of the waiting time. It read 1.5h support to be taken. It was cursory estimated that the number of persons who lined before me is over 100. Though, I’d known the Japanese like standing in a line, I cannot image when did they come and make the queue. 45m has past, I’ve been at the side of the shop, and looked back of the queue, there were more people in the line, the line has been even longer than I began queuing up at the first time. More 30m, I’ve reached the top of queue. After quickly glancing the goods in the tent(shop) to decide what to buy in it. Took basket, picked goods, queued up again to check out. After that, I notice there was a Japanese post spot near the tent. What your first instinct? Goods moved in by this way? Your half right, but not only move in, you can also post your goods what you had bought to your home for only 300 yen. How convenient and thoughtful.
Then, it should be taken pictures of the 1:1 scale Gundam. Got off the shop and true to the square what Gundam stood. At the outside of the square, there was a huge crowd already. Squashing in and out for looking for spots to take pictures from every angle. Next, it was queuing again, for touching the real steel of the Gundam from its bottom.
After that, we had the lunch and went to the hotel what had prearranged for a rest. Looking down from the hotel in the 2pm, the queue is even longer than the morning. Below the brightly shinning sun, I’m sincere admire theirs perseverance. (To be continued…)
