(Sorry I do not know how to insert Youku video on Blogger)

Taipei trip 2013: 100 Years Before the Birth of Doraemon celebration (in Taipei) - Part 4

Ok, this is the final part of the Doraemon part. The last part of the convention actually shows some of the scenes you seen in the manga or movies, animes. 

Some props used by Doraemon, am I the only one who thinks this looks awkward? Haha, if I'm not wrong this is the 'torch' that can shrink down any objects!

Overall a very nice and good eyeopening experience for us. It is the first time we visited a convention outside of Singapore. Of course, we have ourselves a few nice souvenirs... The yellow Doraemon is a convention limited edition!

With this Part 4, it marks an end to the special Doraemon celebration posts. I will be posing more on the toys shop in Taipei and of course my Taiwan loots!
