my encounter with Liliput of Japan

After my series of meetings today,  I  watched  at a movie house in tagbilaran, bohol the film "Gulliver's Travel. 3D " for 150 pesos. While watching the said film i recalled my 2008 visit to a themepark in Japan where i felt like Gulliver in Liliput kingdom.

In one of my earlier blog "ROUND THE WORLD IN TWO HOURS IN TOBU WORLD SQUARE."   i  narrated that you can see the whole world in the Tobu World Square which is a site with about 102 1/25th scale models of UNESCO-designated World Cultural and Heritage Sites, completely with 140,000 1:25 miniature people..
The models aren’t tiny, they are pretty big and that really helps show their detail. There is a lot to see and you can "virtually visit" places all around the world. Opened onApril 24, 1993, the owners meticulously constructed the exquisite reproductions to 1/25th of the original sizes of 102 historic relics and architectures in the premises from 21 countries in the world.

If one will closely look at the engravings, relives and stained glasses of the architectural structures, you can be mesmerized by the artisan skills on the exquisite reproductions of their originals. There are so many miniatures of TokyoTower,Diet Building , Pyramid, Chinese Great Wall, Leaning Tower of Pisa and so on.
