Lost

As you may expect, I took my two princesses to one of the famous local theme parks during the holiday.

This is the first time Adler ever meets her Disney friends, and it has been three years since Euterpe last visited this place. Unlike the usual hot and humid summer in Hong Kong, it was a cloudy weekday shortly after a typhoon - the perfect weather for some outdoor activity.

The girls were, of course, overjoyed. On the contrary, Vivian and I were disappointed on numerous occasions. The place was not full - it was literally over-flooded with visitors from a strong country. To a people who is so poor that the only thing they have is money, queues are for jumping, rules are for bending, and the strength of their vocal cord is regarded as representing their argument. No wonder such a country has the largest population on world: Her citizens are exceptional adaptable to the environment; they can eat anything, rest anywhere, and pee anytime (for example, next to the Mad Hatter's tea cup as we found in this incident).

A lost civilization.
