You took a picture of yourself in Tokyo without throwing up a peace sign?

From Scott B on December 5, 2011 at 5:46 AM
Haha @Joshua. That's awesome.

Robert, I'd love to see a video of you doing the dance that the parade watchers do with the cast of the Santa Village Parade. The parade video I saw looks incredible- I just wonder if you can dance as well as the locals there!

I think Robert is going to come back with the strong impression that the folks at the Tokyo Land Company are doing Disney far better than the folks at the Disney Corporation. I certainly felt that way after visiting Tokyo DisneySea a few years ago.

It is a damning indictment of the cheapness of the Disney Corporation when TLC can build an awesome park like DisneySea, and Universal can build an incredible park like Islands of Adventure and then improve it with the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Disney builds half day parks like California Adventure and Animal Kingdom.

Hopefully the Iger regime can continue with their efforts to upgrade and improve all of the Disney parks and remedy the mistakes of the Eisner era.

Can't wait to see and read about the Amazing Adventures of Robert in Japan!

From Robert Niles on December 5, 2011 at 4:27 PM
Yeah, what is up with the peace sign thing?

And, as I mentioned on Twitter yesterday, visiting DisneySea left me awed, then a bit mad. You mean we could have had that park in Long Beach? (Screams)

I went to my first trip to California ever in September and hit eight theme parks in 10 days. (Which is a record for me.) It wasn't different countries, but it was a long tiring vacation and I can't wait to come back to spend more time at the ones we really liked. (ie.. Disneyland/California Adventure, Knotts Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Discovery Kingdom.)

As for the Peace Sign in Japan, I've heard multiple reasons for why it's done in photographs.

One is that an American Figure Skater fell during her routine in the '72 Olympics. She was on the ice but still had a smile and threw up the "V" or Peace Sign before she got up. This persistence and diligence made her popular with the Japanese youth.

Another is that according to Japanese youth, the Peace Sign makes your face seem smaller. Or that it signifies being ready for a photo.

By now, culturally, it has just become the norm.
