Disney

Vivian and I brought Euterpe to visit the Hong Kong Disney on her birthday.

Contrary to her usual self, my wife had an exceptionally careful planning of the trip, and it turned out very enjoyable to all of us. Euterpe is a big fan of Goofy and Pluto (not our chairman, don't be silly), and her face just brightened up when she saw her idols in flesh and blood - not to say to have a chance and take some photos with them.

True, the place is rather small when compared to the other local theme park, but it is enough for spending a few hours.

And, looking at the souvenir shops, I begin to realize why many people think Walt Disney is such a good investment.

PS. In the evening, we had a small family gathering in a traditional Canton restaurant at Tai Wai. The menu was a self selected one: 椒鹽蝦, 炸乳鴿, 鶏腳螺頭湯, 香酥鴨, 枝竹炆杉班, 蝦醬蒸五花腩, 煎釀豆腐, 海鮮雜菜煲; (complimentary) 木瓜果盤. No, there was no abalone or shark fin. But we were all exceedingly happy with the tasty food as well as the good time together.

Who says that we need at least HK$400 per head for an acceptable Chinese menu, or an exquisite hotel ballroom for celebration ?
