Doraemon World 2012 @ Genting!
HI ALL!!!! I just returned from my 3 days trip in Genting. and one of the things I would like to share (and have never thought of. since I didn’t bring my DSLR) about is the DORAEMON EVENT!!! I read Doraemon SOMETIMES. but my sister is the BIGGEST FAN ON EARTH. she went into the Doraemon gallery and started to explain what is for what. like a walking encyclopedia.
it costs RM35 and runs from 10am-10pm. the thing is, it’s quite expensive. but in return, you get a LIMITED EDITION TOUCH AND GO!!! with RM5 innit.
it’s located at the Arena of Stars, by the way!
THIS IS THE TOUCH AND GO CARD!!! so super very cute. the entrance fee is not so bad because this touch and go card already cost RM10 plus the RM5 inside. and since it’s limited edition and specially printed, another RM10. so basically you’re paying RM25 for the touch and go and RM10 for the Doraemon town, gallery and carnival.
I guess that little touch and go card above isn’t too clear so here’s the REAL Doraemon Touch N Go card! it’s actually in a much lighter blue! (the most beautiful blue, the doraemon blue!) phone setting problem, sorry!
it starts off with a tour around Doraemon’s Town. by an actual tour guide. haha.
first stop, the comic room!! tells you all about the characters in Doraemon
I don’t know why but I’ve always liked Suneo eventhough he is a scardie cat hahaha. he looks the least dumb I guess haha. Nobita’s dumbness level can make me yell “WHY IS HE SO STUPID” out loud in front of strangers pfft.
good thing is you get to be in the comics as well hehehehhee.
SECOND!!!! NOBITA’S ROOM!!! everything look so familiar hahahah. and these are all imported from Japan =D.
why this Dorami haz no ears too? Doraemon’s one got eaten by rats so what about hers?!
next, Nobita’s living/dining room! and I like that shoe rack. so Japanese *Japanese fever shall come back soon!*
and finally, SUNEO’S HOME!!! it is quite scary that the mannequins are so huge when they are supposed to be.. kids.
and the last stop for the tour!!! THE TIME TRAVELLING MACHINE ROOM! only bad thing about these rooms are that they transfer you after.. 3minutes? so you basically don’t have a lot of time spent in each room. and dear photographers, IT’S VERY DIM INSIDE THERE. plus you can’t do ceiling bounce because there’s no ceiling for most rooms!
after the tour you can choose t take a picture with Doraemon and everyone but you’ll have to buy the picture. for a kiamz person like me. no thanks.
from here onwards, you don’t need to follow the “tour”. you’re free to go and there are a lot of “buildings” and characters to take picture with =D.
funny how Nobita’s mom is much taller than his dad hehehehe.
this Doriyaki is said to be very delicious. the Doriyaki is available in Red Bean, Durian and Chocolate&Biscuit. RM10 for one. and oh!! everything inside works with Touch N’ Go. so you better reload it if you wanna spend money inside =D.
my two favourite characters! other than Doraemon that is. hahaha. very obvious isn’t it =P.
I tried to take pictures of evrey one of it already =D. and that’s my sister in front of the school. everyone’s looking at her from the window!
the magic door!
I’m supposed to be a monster. hahaha. I fit the role as Ju On yes? heheeheh.
a kiss to Doraemon before I leave Doraemon Town!!!
TO THE GALLERY!!!
so, at the Gallery, there are all the equipments Doraemon have used and some extra.
lake lady (the woman you should always be honest to!) and time machine!!!
according to my sister, that lady will come out if you drop something into the river(or pond? she just said water pfft) and then she will give you something better to test your honesty and if you can resist temptation and will insist on giving it to you hahaha.
don’t know what these 4 are. but that blue tub is the Skinkai Cream and the Y shaped thing is Yro.
snail, time cloack where you put something broken in it and it will time travel to when it’s not broken!, the memory bread that will make you remember on whatever you slap it on and don’t know what is the camera for but it’s called Noroi no Camera
THE FAMOUS TAKE-COPTER!!! okay so far this is the one I’m most familiar with hahah.
Kamisama Robot and the Dokodemo Door.
the old man who trains you kung fu and of course.. the famous magic door that brings you where ever you want to go!!
mini doraemon and the tunnel where you go in big and get out tiny. there’s a big one at the entrace to Doraemon Town!
SKAN TAKO!!!! the cupid’s arrow (wth without sharp head) and the weather changer.
AHHH YELLOW DORAEMON WITH EARS!!!
at the Carnival. a lot of food and games! and the best is that Touch N Go self-custimizing shop. so awesome. you can put your own picture!!
here’s a picture of how it looks like.
THE END.

Hi Kathy! you can get the tickets right outside the entrance of Arena of Stars. the same entrane as the Outdoors Theme Park (I guess you know which entrance I mean right?!) and it’s best to go earlier IMO to avoid crowd as you need to wait for a tour guide. =D. I went around 1pm and there was a little crowd already, but just a littleee. =3.

Pretty good blog over the whole Doraemon Event… I wish I coulda been there to experience it (since I’m learning Japanese as a hobby and am reading some of the Manga).
The Noroi No Camera translates to Curse Camera (Something about Voodoo dolls maybe?)
The blog is very informative and I’d love to see more of your other blogs. “,
