at the hongkong disneyland. we got in free by the way courtesy of a filipino friend ;-) there's lots of pinoy workers there. we werent able to explore the whole park coz there were so many people - from mainland china and the Philippine SEA Games gold medalist were there too - with mike arroyo no less and - there were so many things to do
we dont like rides so we catched the shows and the favo hands down was the philharmonic show - a kind of 3d animation show where not only can you see the movie in 3d with surround sound, you can actually smell the food shown on the screen and they even had water spraying us when during a water splashing scene as in real water that got us a bit wet. it was just simply amazing.
me during one of the anti-wto rally. it was actually festive and peaceful. far from the violent or rowdy event bannered by the hysterical media. it was i think boring for the media so they had to hyped things up a bit. Hongkong people were nice and tolerant and also the police. one of the famous chants during the rallies was in fact "we love hongkong, we love hongkong police" . the police were really nice and helpful it was a bit unnerving
see the shirt? maelstrom ina :p at the hongkong airport going home.

a rally against globalization and extensive internationalism turned out to be a tour of one of their instruments, pretty ironic, hehehe
so true, it was not really lost on us, hehehe. not to sound defensive but we're not economic luddites :-) if we are, we won't eat fastfoods, ride cars, eat apples, watch tv, drink san miguel beer, use the internet etc. its a globalized world nowadays.
all we are saying simply is to have a better and fair deal for less developed countries.
there is globalization, and there IS globalization. :-)
hey don't get me wrong, i admire how the hongkong protest turned out. my view is that globalization per se shouldn't be the target. corporate greed is.
hehehe no offence taken :-)you're spot on correct there bro! yup corporate greed is what puts all of us in deep sh_t
btw. ano pala gift sa inaanak namin? toys o clothes o books?
