Teamlab Borderless Part 1

I've been wanting to visit Teamlab Borderless  ever since I visited Planets.
Finally made the trip a year later.





We arrived early with hopes that there would be less people. 



When the gates open, we are free to enter any exhibitions that we like. As it was our first time, we just sort of winged it and simply entered one.


Not sure if we entered one that wasn't too popular, but there was less people. 



There were images of whales projected onto the walls and in the corner, there is this trampoline area with lights projected on it to make it look like the galaxy. This are attracted many families with kids, but I went to try it out too. It was surprisingly hard to keep your balance while jumping on the trampoline.



Past that area is an area with blown up balloons like these.



The colour of the lights changes every now and then.


After that, we went to an area filled with kids to enjoy a short colouring session.



I chose a turtle while J chose a fish.



We coloured them and gave them to the staff to be scanned.



After the images are scanned, they will be projected onto the wall.



Next is a room filled with lights that changes colour every now and then. 


Next, we entered a room with many little trinkets on the walls and on the tables. Everything is interactive. When you move the trinkets around, the animations will change accordingly.


After that, we went for tea at the En Tea House.


Here's the menu:


The tea house is dark so that we can enjoy the light projections



We ordered a hot tea and green tea ice cream.



When placed on the table, flowers start to form in the tea cup and around the green tea ice cream.



When you shift the tea cup, the projection will continue for a while before it disappears.



At the same time, a new flower will form at the new location.



Overall, it is an amazing and one of a kind experience.



I wonder if there is some kind of sensor in the utensils because when the tea level is low or when there's only a bit of ice cream left, the projections end.
