Trip

Went to the theme park at Ma Wan over weekend - it was a trip organized my Euterpe's kindergarten.

As always, the arrangement was marvellous. True, the place may not be attractive enough for our billionaire friends from the mainland to pay and spend a day at, but it is a superb experience for local parents to share with their children.

If you've ever been to the place, you may argue there's a shade more of Christianity than many atheist or non-believers would like to see. Some critics would further point out that part of the set up money of this park came from the government, which should not be mixed up with religious matters.

On a superficial look, the comment sounds entirely legitimate.

But, I beg to disagree - for a reason that I would elaborate tomorrow.

PS. Although I am sure making money is not the primary objective of the owner, I have a gut feeling that this very place would break even in its balance sheet sooner than its competitor from the States.
