Disneyland and the biggest hissy fit in the world!

Text written in: English

We woke up about midday and decided to go to the 2 month old Hong Kong Disneyland.  I hate theme parks, but i decided that i couldnt be bothered doing any other stuff on my own so i went along with the boys.  We caught the MTR all the way and the final stretch you are in an Disney MTR with mickey mouse everything, comfy seats and that god awful music you always get at theme parks.  I was getting irritated already.It cost about 20 quid to get in and to be honest it really wasnt worth it as the park was tiny. I remember going to Sisneyland in Florida when i was little and it was huge.  Now im not sure if that was because i was little or not, but this place is tiny.

We spent most of our time walking around pulling stupid faces behind people having their pictures taken and going on crap kiddies rides.  Yes, we are now those really annoying people you get in your pictures pulling faces.  We also got our pictures taken with a number of cartoon characters including, Donald, Goofy, Pluto and Mulan (cos she was well fit), but we didnt get Mickey as we would have to queue for about an hour for it!! 

The only good ride in the place was called space mountain and it was basically just a bigger and better version of the black hole at Alton Towers.  We ended up going on 4 times, just to pull rediculous faces for the camera at the end, only to be too tight arsed to buy them.  Around 6pm we got realy bored and couldnt be arsed to hang around for the fireworks display in a few hours time, so we boarded the MTR again and headed off home.

When we got back, i fancied a few beers, so we nipped ot the seven eleven for a few bottles.  This was a very bad idea, resulting in a few more trips to seven eleven and then the suggestion of Wan Chai.  Before we knew it, we were back in Wan Chai drinking with 17 year old chavs.  We went into the Kangaroo Bar, and rather strangely for an Aussie bar, they were showing a re-run of the 2003 Rugby World Cup final, where they obviously lost to the mighty English.  It was then that the chavs started filtering into the place, some of which had huge gold chains and baseball jackets, it was quite amusing.  We got talking to some non chavs outside and as it turned out, they were all borders over here.

Next stop was a bar called Carnegies where we danced on the bar for about 3 or 4 hours with many other piss heads, mostly women and i got approached by an American woman who must have been in her mid forties.  I politely rejected that kind offer as i am not as easy as Lester (you sicko). 

Alex headed home about 5am ,but me and Ack were still up for a few dafties, so we decided to head to a few strip clubs where nothing exciting happened (apart from i now have a video on my phone of the girls dancing on stage, they are truly awful dancers).  We were so drunk by this stage that we had to start drinking water, and dont worry, we didnt buy anything else!!!  About 6.30 we had a quick mcdonalds and i suggested catching a tram andthen the star ferry to get home.  Ackroyd - after we got off the tram had a huge hissy fit, throwing a pocket full of change on to the road and claiming that i was taking the piss and not taking us home!  It was well funny.  After i managed to persuade him i wastn taking the piss and the Star Ferry terminal was less than 100 metres away, he proceeded to fall over and semi pass out on the street.  I have got an awesome video of him doing this on my phone by the way - dont know what i was thinking.

We eventually got home at 7.30am and went straight to bed.
