<\/p>\n Right by the museum stood a theme park, with what was once the largest clock in the world.\u00a0https:\/\/en.japantravel.com\/kanagawa\/huge-ferris-wheel-in-yokohama-minato-mirai-cosmo-clock-21\/437<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We spent most of the day at the Cup Noodles Museum.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I found some cool sculptures throughout the museum.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bayus found something that was written to honor Momofuku, the inventor of Cup Noodles, that he felt summed up his own life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We learned about the history of Cup Noodles (we also learned that it is called Cup Noodles, not Cup of Noodles),<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bayus and Sola played in a park that demonstrated how a Cup Noodles is made in the factory, and we made our own, custom Cup Noodles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n These packages were funny. We put our Cup Noodles in, then pumped up the packaging, so it squeezed the Cup Noodles inside. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We were even able to decorate our own cups!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n (Mom used the panoramic feature on her phone camera to take this picture)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The museum had a re-creation of the house that Momofuku was living in, when he invented Cup Noodles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Momofuku was having a hard time figuring out how to dry the ramen noodles. He had his eureka moment when he was watching his wife make tempura.<\/p>\n “Aha!” he thought, “I will fry the noodles!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the Museum, we had lunch together at an Italian restaurant. Giving gifts is a strong Japanese custom, so we made sure we brought gifts for all of our Japanese relatives. Goldfish are not sold in Japan. We did not know this before we brought Watalu goldfish. He loved them!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We had a lot of fun being able to spend time with them all day. I had fun getting to know my little cousins \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
