Tokyo holiday in Odaiba (2)


One unexpected plus from staying in our cool hotel in Odaiba was the proximity to famous celebrities.   Although they seemed stiff at first, they were in fact very approachable and we were even able take some photos together.  

Hannah-Papa with Julia Roberts.

Hannah-Papa:  "New knees"

In case you hadn't guessed already, Odaiba also has a branch of Madame Tussards.   It was a lot more fun for me than I expected, although perhaps a less fun for Hannah as she didn't recognize many of the celebrities.   Luckily we had watched ET together a few weeks earlier, which she had really liked.
