Picking up from yesterday's “KidZania Visit #3, Part 1” about last Friday's visit to KidZania, Anthony and Gen were waiting to start their stint as dentists....

“You Go Ahead, You Won Fair and Square”

The worker had talked to them a bit, then they did a quick paper-rock-scissors competition to decide something, and the photo above was when Anthony apparently won. From what happened later, I think it was to decide who would be the doctor, and who would be the assistant.

Suiting Up
even though my dentist here in Kyoto is female, I'm guessing the mask colors are to remind the staff who's playing which role

Patient Triage

Final Touches

After the dentist experience, they wanted to drive a train, which Anthony did six months ago and Gen had done on his prior trip as well. This involved a 45-minute wait, but they really wanted to do it, so waited. And just like during some down time toward the end of his first day, he took the opportunity to check out his financial situation...
