<\/a><\/p>\nKidZania is tiny working indoor town.<\/p>\n
At exactly 4 PM, all the stores open for business!\u00a0 Cosmo chose package delivery as his first job.\u00a0 Many of the business in KidZania are real companies in Japan – this company, Kuro-Neko is sort of a Japanese FedEx.<\/p>\n In the pic above he is receiving training for his job.\u00a0 Parents can’t enter most buildings in KidZania, but everything has lots of windows so we get to snoop around and take pictures.<\/p>\n Training complete, he prepares to do some work!\u00a0 He delivers and picks up packages from various other KidZania businesses and does some inventory work. \u00a0 At the end he receives 8 Kidzoes in pay.<\/p>\n He goes to the KidZania bank,\u00a0 gets an account, and deposits his cash.\u00a0 There is a working ATM system.<\/p>\n Here he learns to work at a Pizza place.<\/p>\n The best part of the pizza career – you get to eat what you made!<\/p>\n The bakery, candy maker, and sushi chef careers also feature making real food but he didn’t do those…\u00a0 There is no way to do everything in one day!<\/p>\n Cosmo makes small chat while working as a gas station attendant.\u00a0 The girl driving the car has rented it from the Rent-a-car place – you can only do this if you’ve earned your KidZania license by going to driving school.<\/p>\n One of the most popular careers – Fireman!\u00a0 After training, a building catches on fire and kids are driven to it.\u00a0 The vehicles in KidZania move slightly slower than a normal walking pace, but hey, it’s a firetruck with a siren!<\/p>\n Maternity ward nurse!\u00a0 There was also a dentist career.<\/p>\n Cosmo works security.\u00a0 We caught him transporting cash to the bank.\u00a0 They really let them go off alone to do their ‘missions’.<\/p>\n The pilot career.\u00a0 Nearby, those that chose the flight attendant career path were being trained to give safety instructions.<\/p>\n At the end of a great day, completely worn out physically and emotionally the holy land awaited!\u00a0 He entered “The store” to see what he could buy with his Kidzoes.<\/p>\n We watched through the glass as he wandered around looking at the price tags.\u00a0 I saw him tear up as he realized everything good was just way too expensive for him.<\/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
