Since I grew up with Disneyland in my backyard and previously having worked for Disney Feature Animation it&#8217;s so ingrained in me I have to check it out! Even though I&#8217;m rather bored by it all at this point. So, I&#8217;ve been to Disneyland California, Disneyworld Florida, Disneyland Paris, and now Disneyland Hong Kong. All that&#8217;s left is Tokyo. Quite honestly I didn&#8217;t even remember there was Disneyland in Hong Kong until a day before I left.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short it was awful. There were nooooo rides whatsoever. About 8 of them. It was really rather pathetic. So I wrapped it up in a few hours. The only ride I went on was Space Mountain. The Main Street is nearly identical to the one in California. Strange. Anyway, Disneyland was kinda sucky.<\/p>\n<p>After I left I headed back into the city for dinner and took a harrowing bus ride up to the Peak. The bus was hugging these cliff turns that were straight down. &#8220;Amongst the dead was an American tourist&#8230;&#8221; was what I was thinking. The view from the Peak tonight was crazy beautiful. I actually missed having someone with me this time to go &#8220;Hey look, that&#8217;s so cool.&#8221; So I&#8217;m telling you now, &#8220;Hey look, that&#8217;s cool&#8221; and you really liked it and we hung out all night just watching the lights.<\/p>\n<p>I took the Star Ferry back over to Kowloon tonight to have dinner. There was a little place I went to and liked it so I went back. Had some rice, shrimp, chicken, mushroom bowl. Oh, and they have a drink there that is called Honey Pear Tea. If there was one drink left on the planet I would hope it be that one. Amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Went home. Not in such a good mood. Going to try to get to Macau tomorrow for a change in scenery.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.chasethelight.com\/images\/112306a.jpg','','width=1200,height=901')\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chasethelight.com\/images\/112306a_th.jpg\" class=alignleft WIDTH=1000 border=\"1\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you didn&#8217;t know, Sha Tin Wai is not the same as Wong Tai Sin&#8230;.
