Pirates!

Who would travel all the way to Sasebo City in Kyushu just to get onboard a pirate ship? We would! It's a birthday present. Raimie's 9th birthday present to be exact. We didn't plan to make a return visit to Huis Ten Bosch; which is where you can find this ship - the Thousand Sunny but saw an ad of the theme park with One Piece attraction prominently displayed when we went to HIS Travel to buy our JR Pass before our trip in Nov-Dec of last year.
Raimie asked us whether he could get a trip to see the ship and all the One Piece characters as his birthday present instead of us going to Ultramanland and we obliged. Can't say no, when he asked ever so nicely, can I? ^^
We met Chopper and of course who can resist a hug with Chopper?
or Luffy?
Scary Kuma
Trafalgar and Captain Kid
Sanji
Usopp!
 Daddy and his "girlfriend" Nami
Brook (sure sounds like my running shoe brand. heh heh)
And lastly Franky

It was a really nice birthday present for any One Piece fan, going to Huis Ten Bosch, got onboard the Thousand Sunny ship and take photos with the characters (statues, but hey! Whose complaining?), don't you think? ^^

On a totally unrelated connection to pirates -
 Is this the same "mother-child" statues as the one is your post, Rurousha? The angle of your photos made me thought it wasn't at first.

I love how serene the mother looks like and how adoringly the older child look up to his/her mom and the little one was happily and blissfully sleeping. :)
