We Have Arrived in Bangkok!! Main Topic: KidZania

Uncategorized

We arrived in Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok at 10:40pm on  Monday the 11th of March. We took a taxi from Don Mueang to our “hometel”, a hotel with a living room and a shared kitchen. When we got there we went straight to bed.

When we woke up we went to eat breakfast and planned our itinerary for the day. Bangkok is very hot so we did not want to be walking around in the sun for a long time. We decided to buy passes for the BTS SkyTrain and we took the train to Chit Lom station we walked to a little but important shrine called Erawan Shrine. It is very convenient that our hometel is right beside the BTS Phra Kanong station.  After we looked at the shrine we went in to a mall called Siam Paragon. Bangkok has a lot of malls. We went to a bookstore in the mall and I bought two books, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and The Hobbit.

On the 2nd day we took the SkyTrain to Siam station and went in to the Siam Paragon again to go to KidZania!!

KidZania is a mini world where the ceiling is painted like the sky. In KidZania there are roads that go around the city. Only kids are allowed in KidZania and while in KidZania you do jobs to earn the KidZanian currency, Kidzos. Before you go in they give you a cheque that you cash in at the bank. That cheque is worth 20 Kidzos. The first job that me and Denise did was being a mail courier. We put on uniforms and delivered packages to places in KidZania. When we were done we went back to the office and they gave us 8 Kidzos.

This is us doing our courier duties.

The second job we did was working in a Veterinary Clinic. Me and Denise took care of fake dogs and cats, we also got 8 Kidzos from that.

At some point Denise worked as an Optometrist at an eye care centre.

This is me being a firefighter, we drove in the fire truck down the streets of KidZania with a loud siren blaring.

Denise worked as a mechanic at the KidZania mechanic shop. She really liked it.

This is me at the Bottling Plant. It was really fun filling up the bottles with apple juice and sealing them with cool machines and contraptions.

This is Denise at the KidZania Milk Factory, I think she looks so cute in her uniform.

This is us listening to what we are going to do at the Koh-Kae Peanut Factory. After you got the peanuts ready for going to the store they gave you a little packet of peanuts.

This is Denise working as a Florist at the flower studio in KidZania.

One job we did was being a news anchor. It was fun and you got paid 12 Kidzos. How you say hello in KidZania is you make a sideways peace sign on your heart and say “Kai” how you say goodbye is you have a fist on your chest and you take it off and do a peace sign and say “C (see)- U (you)”

For one of my activities I chose to be in the Peter Pan play at the KidZania Acting Academy. I was Peter, it was fun but kind of weird because all of the other kids in my group were Thai so they were speaking the script in Thai but I was reading it in English. I got paid 20 Kidzos, the most amount of money that I got for one job. Other jobs I did were being a flight attendant, climbing a building, making a frozen yogurt, Denise also paid to get nail polish at a beauty salon.  At the end we spent our hard earned Kidzos at the KidZania store to buy little things, I had 143 Kidzos and I bought a pack of cute little erasers for 120 Kidzos and Denise had 90 Kidzos but she wanted to buy stickers that were 100 KidZos so I gave her 10 Kidzos so she could buy it. It sure was a fun day at KidZania!
