Trip to mt factory tour Vol.3（カモ井加工紙）

↑I went to Kurashiki(倉敷) last week, my main purpose was for mt factory tour Vol.3.
上週，我去了一趟倉敷，主要是為了第三屆-mt紙膠帶工場的見學。
*mt = masking tape
*mt的簡寫是從masking tape(護條膠帶)而來的。

↑My mt factory tour PASS! As you see, they noted my tour date and time.
照片裡的PASS是我去參觀工場的必需品，從照片裡可以看到，上面註明了參觀的日期與時間。
They do have this kind of tour every year, but always in different period, for example, the 1st tour was hold in May, 2012, and the 2nd tour, which is last year, was in July, 2013, and the 3rd tour(this year) is betweeb the end of March and the beginning of April, 2014. 
mt每年都有舉辦工場參訪，只是每年舉辦的時間都不一樣。2012年舉辦的第一屆是在五月份，去年2013年辦的第二屆則是在七月份，而今年2014年的第三季是在三月底四月初的時候。
If you are interested in mt factory tour, the important thing is follow their news on their webiste, either follow their facebook page, and apply it when it is available. This tour is really popular, so it better to apply weekday tour instead of weekends.
如果你對mt紙膠帶工廠的參訪有興趣的話，不妨多注意一下他們的網站最新消息，或是加入他們Facebook的粉絲團。這是個具育教於樂性質工場見學，名額有限，建議大家可以選擇平日時段會比較容易申請，不然人數超過的話，可是要參加抽選的喔。

↑mt factory tour's shuttle bus.
mt工場見學接駁車
From the letter, which they have sent to me has the detail of how to get there. Actually, there is a map inside, it shows a parking space where is near Kurashiki station, and we have meet there, and shuttle bus will take all the visitors to the factory.
在mt寄來的信件中，裡面詳細載明了集合地點與地圖，參加者需要在指定時間內完成報到，然後會由接駁車接送到工場裡面。

↑This bus was not painted as you see, it all with tape! Amazing, and I'm wondering to know how many rolls of tape they used for just decorate one bus?
接駁車的外觀並不像一般車子一樣是用顏料塗畫的，你所看到的樣式都是用mt生產的紙膠帶去貼出來的。很驚人吧！

↑Inside of bus, also all decorated with tape, it's cute!
就連巴士內的天花板，也都用紙膠帶裝飾著，很可愛的喔！

↑mt original was making a Fly Paper, which is a fly-killing device made of paper.
mt工場其實一開始是生產捕捉蒼蠅用的蒼蠅紙。

↑It becomes to a fashionable decoration tape nowadays. You can use it on your notebooks, photos, bicycle, car, and whatever you want to decorate it.
到現在，已經變成流行的裝飾品。你可以輕易的去裝飾你的筆記本、照片、腳踏車、汽車，甚至任何你想裝飾的地方都可以。

↑It's not allowed to take any picture during the tour in factory, therefore, I have no picture of inside of factory.
工場見學的時候，裡面是禁止拍照的，所以我沒有工場內部的任何照片。
I do have a lots of photos outside of the factory, such as these 2 photos. They have decorated a space as a giant's desk.
但是出了工場的作業區，你可以盡情的拍照。像上面這兩張照片，其實是mt的工作人員布置出來的，巨人的書桌!?

↑There is a room decorated by colorful tapes, and with colorful sand.
工場裡的某一個區域，裡頭的顏色多彩繽紛，用的是紙膠帶與亮麗的彩沙去裝點而成。

↑After the colorful area, the next room is shopping room! All the shopping bags are decorated with different colorful pretty tapes as their style!
經過了多彩繽紛的區域後，緊接而來的是工場見學的賣店，是特別為見學會設置的。裡面提供的購物提籃，也都使用了紙膠帶做裝飾，很可愛。
And many different patterns' tapes too. I did a big shopping there, and also bought a rollbox, which you can fill in it as much as you can for 500yen only. So cheap!
賣店裡有著各式各樣圖騰的紙膠帶，我買了很多，其中最划算的就是桶裝膠帶，拿一個桶子，然後自己挑自己喜歡的顏色/尺寸的膠帶，裝到滿只要500日圓。超划算的！

↑A stamp for my memory, nice tour at mt factory!
第三屆mt工場見學紀念章，我真的很開心我能有機會來參訪這間紙膠帶工廠！

↑There is a workshop area, they provide a lot of tapes for visitors to use to decorate a own souvenir.
賣店的外頭有個動手做工作坊，mt很貼心的準備了很多很多的紙膠帶供參訪者自己裝點屬於自己的紀念品。
***Don't take it home, please put it back after you done, save it for next person!***
***現場提供很多不同色系圖騰的紙膠帶供大家盡情使用，但本人在此還是想提醒大家，為了下一位使用者的方便，請勿擅自將mt提供的紙膠帶給帶回家！***

↑Lots of tapes, all you can use! I love it so much!
好多好多的紙膠帶可以無限量使用，我好愛喔！

↑My star!
我的星星紀念品！
They provide many different kind of shapes for visitors to use, and one person only can get one. I choose a star, and an old lady, who sit nearby me, she had a star too. A little girl, who sit on the otherside of the old lady, also nearby me, she had a house. Another boy who sit in front of me had a train, he has a really good sense of colors!
mt很貼心的準備了很多不同形狀的紙盒原型，供大家選擇，可以自己動手做一個屬於自己的紀念品，但是一個人只能拿一個。我選的是星星圖案的盒子，坐我旁邊的老太太也是星星圖案。坐我另外一邊的小女孩，他的是房子。然後做我對面的小弟弟，他的則是火車頭樣式。不得不誇獎一下這位小弟弟，他對色彩的配置有一套，顏色配的很好看呢！

↑After I done my star, I start to decorate my badge! And here is my own style!
裝飾完我的星星盒子，接著我開始裝飾著我的別針，用了好多種不同圖案的交代，最後總算做出了只有我才有的樣式！
*Badge fee is 300yen!
*別針的材料費是300日圓！

↑Gashapon! If you get a special paper from your Gashapon capsule, then you will get a mt with a special pattern.
轉蛋時間！如果你幸運的轉到了一顆內藏有小紙條的轉蛋，那真的很恭喜你，因為你可以得到一個mt特製圖騰的紙膠帶。
Unlucky, I did twice, but I didn't get any special paper to exchange a special pattern tape… 
我其實也轉了兩顆，但很不幸的，我的轉蛋裡只有各一捲紙膠帶靜靜的躺在那，裡面沒有其他小紙條可以去換特別版紀念品…

↑My tour time was 10:30, and I arrived mt factory near 11:00. And I left around 13:30, which is mean I spent about 2 hours in the factory.
我的見學時間是早上10:30，但其實那是接駁車的發車時間，真正抵達工場的時間其實也快11點了。在工場內部參訪，又是拍照、又是製作自己的專屬紀念品、又是買東西的，我竟然就這樣玩了兩個多小時耶！
It was really fun, although I was alone in the tour, I still had a good time. All the visitors and mt staffs, were so friendly, they helped me to take some pictures, and made my own badge.
這次的經驗真的很棒，即使我是一個人獨自前往參加，還是玩的很愉快。其他的參訪者和mt的工作人員，大家人都很好，很照顧像我一樣單獨前往參加的人。

↑YES! All my souvenirs from mt factory. Some of them was a present from the factory, and some of them was bought by me.
沒錯！你沒看錯，這些是我從mt工場見學帶回來的所有紀念品。有些是參訪時拿到的紀念品，有些則是我買的。
*I got some special pattern tapes from the shops in Kurashiki town, but it's not show on this photo. If you go to the shop which is on support shop list of mt factory, show them your PASS when you pay the money for things or food, then you will get one!
*mt工場見學活動有和一些在倉敷觀光景點的店家合作，只要在結帳時出示mt PASS，就有機會拿到特製圖案的紙膠帶。
After my mt factory tour report, will you like to join as well? I hope, I will have the chance to visit again, because they have different theme every year, and the present also different too. The special present which you cannot buy from the market, it only for factory tour! (^o^)/
這是本次我去參觀紙膠帶工場的報告，不知道大家是否也開始心動了嗎？說真的，我還蠻希望明年也可以去參觀，因為每年的布置主題不同，贈送的紀念品也是不同的，最特別的是這些紀念品可是買不到的，是參觀者限定的喔！(^o^)/
