` Sunday, September 25, 2005
Just when I was about to contemplate the possibility of considering a work stint in Hong Kong for a couple of years, the heavens appeared to be telling me otherwise.
On Friday, the weatherman unleashed the warning of a tropical cyclone hitting the island on the weekend. Shrugging it off as the mere likelihood of periodic showers (partly due to a lack of experience), my family and myself decided to forge ahead with the planned itinerary, which included visiting the newly launched Disneyland. Big mistake. Or rather, an unavoidably big mistake, since the park tickets were purchased prior to arrival.
Nonetheless, we managed to snap photos with Mickey and his friends (long queues notwithstanding), who were most likely compelled to make an extended appearance, in order to appease the restless crowds because of the torrid weather and the fact that the park is currently about half the size of its overseas counterparts. The most disappointing news was the cancellation of the fireworks display, supposedly to be the highlight of the visit.
On hindsight, I realised that I had blogged about bad climate back in Goa and London earlier this year. The same rainy condition plagued our visit to the theme parks in Gold Coast, despite touring the city in the summer month! Talk about bringing turbulence to the places that I go. Let's hope all these events are pure coincidences.
