Working vehicles at Toyota Automobile Museum

August 1st - 2009

The Toyota Automobile Museum is having an event regarding "working vehicles" .... it's about the vehicles that being use by Fire Brigade, Police and others. We decided to go during the JAF ( Japan Automobile Federation ) and there is a performance of a towing truck towing a car too.
The weather was a bit wet with a light rain, and as we arrived we went for the indoor photoshoot with the tow truck and Eirfan & Yuri wear the JAF uniform. After a few shots and pose there, we went outside for the towing show.
After the show we went to the main building and head straight to the event section. The first vehicle was the police car.. Eirfan and Yuri head straight to the costumes and asked me to help them wear it before i snap them. Next was with the ambulance then the fire engine. After that with the construction vehicles.
Then we went for the free colouring section and let both of them colour the pictures. The pictures was a JAF rescue car and a fire engine. I also took few home for Eiqmal too due he was left at home with mum. Before returning home we stop at the museum shop and buy some souvenirs too.

Toyota Automobile Museum

May 6th - 2009

On the half end of the Golden Week, the weather was not so good and rain for the whole day. We decided to go to Toyota Automobile Museum at Seto City and it's about 10km from our house. The museum is not only for Toyota cars only but it's a museum o the history of cars. The entrance ticket for adults is only 1000Yen and free of charge for children below 6 years old, so only me & my wife need to pay the ticket and the kids got their privilege again. At the main building there are one floor of the history of car itself and another floor is the history & development of Japanese cars. There is also a new annex beside the main building and it about the history of car in Japan after the world war 2.
Eirfan & Yuri really excited here. They really enjoy viewing all the cars, same as me, i also really enjoyed visiting this museum. I also impressed with the leaflets about the museum here..it almost got every main languages...even got my homeland language Bahasa Melayu version. Total of 16 different languages of leaflet are available and also got a special leaflet for kids too. The leaflet for kids got a stamp seal area that can be stamped at few corner of the museum. There is also a theme base event held here from time to time especially for the kids of course.
