Around the World



Small Arabia, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Perhaps the quickest way to appreciate the world in costumes is at Disneyland's It's A Small World. Many don't like the ride because it's slow and old fashioned but it's actually quite educational.

Bakit si Pooh may pangtaas pero walang pangbaba?

Why does Pooh wear a top but not a bottom?

Manigong Bagong Taon



Fireworks, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Paano nyo ba sinasalubong ang bagong taon? Nagpapaputok ba kayo o nagsisindi ng fireworks? Dati rati, mahilig ding magpaputok ang tatay ko at nagpagawa pa sya ng kanyon para doon. Pero pinakiusapan namin siya kaya tumigil na. Baka kasi mapano ang tenga nya o maputukan kung saan. Ngayon, kuntento na syang silipin sa bintana ang fireworks ng kapitbahay.

How do you welcome the new year? Do you use firecrackers or fireworks? In the past, my dad loved firecrackers and even had a cannon custom made for that purpose. But we asked him to stop so he did. We were worried about its effects on his hearing or a possible firecracker related injury. Now he's content with watching our neighbors' fireworks display from the window.

When It Rains...



Rainy Day Express, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

...Hong Kong Disneyland rolls out the Rainy Day Express carrying the characters in its compartments. Instead of the usual dancing on the streets, they just dance around the compartment and wave to the parade viewers. We experienced this in lieu of the usual parade when our visit was marred by a downpour. At least, we got to see Plan B.

The Hollywood Sign in Hong Kong




Hollywood Sign, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Perhaps the image most synonymous with Hollywood is the Hollywood sign. And since this Disney hotel is Hollywood themed, the sign couldn't be far behind.

Water, Water Everywhere



Waterworks Mickey, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Notice how the ground is wet and the people are sporting umbrellas. This photo is of Mickey's Waterworks Parade where viewers get drenched. That colorful float spouts water. Although we were in the mostly dry zone, we still had to hide behind Kayers' jacket so as NOT to get all wet.

Hong Kong, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

One look at the skyline and some cities are instantly recognizable. Hong Kong is one. New York is another.

The difference between music and noise is in the ears of the listener. This one I like.

Dream Come True



Two Princesses, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

For most, meeting a favorite star is a dream come true. I'm sure it was for the little princess when she met Cinderella.

Main Street, USA



Main Street, USA, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

They call this Main Street, USA but it's not exactly a street and not necessarily in the USA. This reproduction of an American street is a common feature of Disney parks all over the world. The facade reflects the architecture of yesterday. Inside, however, one will find souvenir shops, food treats, photo claiming booths, etc.
