I had no idea what I was getting into when I climbed into the back of that van. I was curious about what might be inside and sure enough my curiosity paid off. A small bag of chocolates, something I had never tasted before. When I tasted that first piece I knew I had been missing out on something here in the forest. Leaving my home was frightening but I knew that more amazing new experiences like these were in store. Hidden away in the back, the van drove for hours until it finally returned to the jibtv office, my new home.
The first night in the office I spent all by myself. It was dark, cold and lonely. I was so terrified of the new world I found myself in and all the many wonders I had not yet seen. In the forest I had many friends but I was never quite like the other creatures and I was the only one of my kind. The office was empty but in the morning the staff came. I hid inside a small closet and watched them for a few days. At night the office was mine! I explored the office and its computers. I tasted everything in the kitchen. The staff's suspicions were confirmed when they came in one morning and caught me napping on a desk.
I'm not sure who was more shocked that morning. But an older man in a suit came forward with some Japanese treats that are called senbei. He offered them, and I gladly ate. There are hard on your teeth but delicious. From that point on we have become good friends. They have built a living area for me in a closet, which is comfortable. Food has been an adventure. When I lived in the forest I ate only moss, but the various human foods that can be found in this office are a constant delight. Actually, more than a delight, it is now my job. The office gets many food items brought back as gifts (omiyage). However, not all of the food is always eaten. In an effort to reduce the amount of office waste I have been put in charge of finishing all left over foods.
I'm still new to many things here at jibtv. I imagine visitors to this website are too! I'd like to show you my new discoveries and my new friends. Maybe someone out there has the same curiosity as me. By writing my own blog I hope I can show everyone out there how much fun it is to let your curiosity guide you.
They tell me I am welcome to go visit the studios where the filming happens. I can't wait to see what goes on. I will report to you everything I do and see! I have gotten pretty good at using these computers. With this awesome new website and technology I will be able to share my adventures and explore the entire world beyond! I wonder what I will find?
