Last week at work, I pitched a bar scavenger hunt event, which my boss absolutely loved, so this week has been focussed on getting the wheels in motion. My idea is a self-guided bar crawl, where players hunt for clues and win prizes as they discover new, interesting nightlife spots. This week we focussed on setting up a chatbot for players to interact with, which delivers clues, registers their teams and takes payment etc. We’ve planned it for my last weekend in Tokyo, so there’s a lot to be done over the next couple of weeks! I have also just taken over the social media marketing campaign for one of Flip’s PR clients, Erosscia, an inclusive pleasure product brand. This has been super interesting and I’m excited to have been given free creative reign on such a big project so early on!
On Thursday, a restaurant Flip is looking to partner with, Beer Loves Gyoza, invited the staff to dinner and a ninja show. Intrigued by the promise of free vegan gyoza (almost unheard of in Tokyo), I headed along. Although the ninja show was definitely aimed at tourists, it was actually really entertaining. At random intervals during dinner, the ninjas wandered around the restaurant doing cartwheels and backflips, with one even doing a handstand on a hover board! The food was pretty great too, and it was a good chance to get to know my co-workers a bit better.
Over the weekend, Courtesy of CRCC, Massey and Education New Zealand, the CRCC interns embarked on an expedition to see the Skytree and Sumida Aquarium. Although it was cloudy and snowing, so the view was hugely obscured (see photos below) it was still pretty amazing to see snow falling from 450 storeys high. We could actually seepage chunks of ice pelting down! Unfortunately no chance of a glimpse of Mt Fuji though…
The aquarium was fun, the displays were really beautiful, particularly the jellyfish. Pink and blue UV lights had been set up above their tanks, to emphasise their colouring, and some exhibits actually had projections shone through them. It was more like being at Team Lab Borderless than any aquarium I had seen before!
