Hello, I’m Pudding🍮 from Team 1!
This time, I’d like to talk about my impressions of going to Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens with four of my coworkers.
We went to Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
We gathered at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens at 11am and started exploring.
We looked at various animals, including Asian elephants, koalas, the recently visited Komodo dragon, and lions. However, it started to rain halfway through, so it’s a bit disappointing that we weren’t blessed with good weather.
This time, we had three missions to go around the zoo.
- Make friends with all the coworkers!
- Find animal sponsorship signs!
- Look at the zoo from the perspective of IT!
These are the three. We went around trying to achieve these.
As a break, we all rode duck boats. In the end, we had to pedal the boat, so even though it was a break, we were quite exhausted. We also went up the Sky Tower and saw the whole zoo. To be honest, I’m not good with heights, so I was really scared to go up in the elevator with a view outside. 😭 I think I was able to get along better with my coworkers through various activities!
We found the animal sponsorship sign!
Our company sponsors lions. We found the animal sponsorship sign and took a photo together! On this day, the male lion “Regulus” was outside. He had a bigger body than I expected, a bushy mane 🦁, and was very cool!
Currently, lions are designated as Vulnerable (VU) on the Red List. This means that the species is likely to become extinct in the wild. Perhaps in the future we will no longer be able to see lions. That’s why I felt that the actions of each of us now are very important. I hope that we will continue our sponsorship activities.
Let’s look at the zoo from the perspective of IT!
At the entrance gate, I saw staff members who looked like they were having a hard time tearing off paper tickets one by one to check them and handing out re-entry papers. So, I thought that if we could introduce QR code tickets and manage entrances, exits, and re-entries, it might help improve work efficiency.
Not only did I enjoy the zoo, but I was able to make new discoveries by looking at it from a different perspective. I want to keep this way of thinking in mind as I work in the future. I hope I can enrich people’s lives.
Summary
By visiting the zoo this time, I was able to deepen my bonds with my fellow employees and learn about the animal sponsorships that our company does. It was also interesting to see the zoo from a different perspective and make new discoveries. I hope I can use this experience to work hard in my future work!
That’s all for now.
Thank you for reading this far.
Stay tuned for the next one!
