Hello all you wonderful people,
I was recently in Yokohama, Japan. Which is a lovely harbor town, if you find yourself with extra time after going to the Disney Parks in Tokyo and want to escape to a quieter place, I recommend Yokohama. But anywho, I was walking around Yokohama seeing the sites and found myself drawn to a museum called the Ramen Museum. It looked like it was going to be a simple museum telling you about the history of you guessed it ramen. But then you walk down the stairs pass the gift shop and you find yourself, "IN A SHOTGUN SHACK," whoa sorry where did that come from. You find yourself in a multi-floored recreation of what a busy city would look like in Japan in the 1930's at night. There are alleyways to discover, actors walking around as police officers, incredible theming, and ramen made by chefs from all around the world. When I walked in I couldn't figure out why they'd sell a three month pass for the museum but after seeing the museum I completely understood.
I could go on describing it or I could just link a video I shot there here.
Now after watching that, could you imagine that area where the ride was suppose to go, where the temp exhibit is held being converted into a living city much like the mexico pavilion, but with more of a foreign flair to it. It would make the Japanese Pavilion also way more diverse reflecting the countries long history.
Tell me what you think!
