Where's Wally Event in Tenjin
Thursday, October 6, 2016
I'm skipping chronological order because today's event was way too fun! Basically, I ended up dressed like this guy:
Depending on which part of the world you're from (and how much you like finding things), you'd recognise this as the Where's Wally or Where's Waldo costume :D
Huis ten Bosch is aiming to grab the Guinness World Record for the most number of people dressed as Wally on Sunday (9th October - do go if you can. We have discounts for those who came in costumes and a free costume option (no discount for same day purchase)), so today, about 30 of us were dressed up as Wally and walked around Tenjin and Hakata.
There were basically two things we had to do (apart from the yelling).
1. Give out flyers
2. Hold up this poster:
And of course, smile and wave! It's a little funny how as soon as we saw a child, we'd smile and wave at the kid. Some kids smiled back, but some just looked stunned, probably because there was too much attention from strangers.
And while I didn't have the opportunity to take pictures of us during the walkabouts/handing out flyers, I didn't need to because:
Lots of them were back shots, but they could have just asked and we would have posed for them. I mean, at our final spot, we took pictures with a baby, some kids, and even a couple who were having their wedding shots (to be honest, I want pictures of that).
Oh, and only six of us potential employees went, so it was a good way to slowly get to know a few other people.

We were on twitter!
Lots of people were tweeting that there was a bunch of people dressed as Wally in _(location)_. We all got a shock when we opened out accounts to check :P
