Hong Kong






I think this will be my last batch of pictures for now, because these take a long time to upload and Grant still hasn't used the internet yet. Yes, we had one day in Hong Kong and went to Hong Kong Disney. I hadn't had a Disney fix in quite a long time, and it felt like such a relief to finally be back at Disneyland, but it felt eerie at the same time. Main Street looked almost identical to the one in California, except that it was in China. It felt familiar, but strange at the same time. Kind of like it wasn't supposed to be there. Most everything was in Chinese too, which kind of throws you off. It's much smaller than Disneyland in California. It only has three major rides in common: Space Mountain, Astro Blasters, and the Jungle Cruise. It had some others too, like Winnie the Pooh and the Teacups. The Jungle Cruise was probably my favorite, because it was so different from the Disneyland one. There were three separate lines depending on what language you wanted to ride the ride in, and we chose English, obviously. The only problem was that even though the guide is speaking English, that by no means garuntees that you will understand her. Half of the time it felt like she was speaking Chinese, and the other half she was screaming into the microphone because she was scared of the animals. She did try to make some of the staple Jungle Cruise jokes, but she had a hard time executing them in English. It was cute.
