More Tourist Info

We had some pics left over from our visit to Disneyland. I thought I might publish additional ones that were not included before.

At The Hollywood Hotel, on property. Sandy got to do a survey too. To the above is a picture of Sandy and Johnny, the surveyer. She got a cute keychain with Tinkerbell attached after she finished. She was pleased.

The picture below is from our hotel window at the Hollywood Hotel. I don't think I included it before now.




During the whole trip, my only regret is that I didn't get a picture of Roy and Jack. Visiting Roy, I believe is almost a religious experience. And, well, as far as I am concerned, Disney isn't the only place there is magic performed.

I decided to get a haircut in Hong Kong. I don't know why. Just a whim, I guess. Faye's in a mall area in downtown Hong Kong is "THE" place to visit, in my opinion. Roy not only washes your hair without getting any soap or water down your back and in your ears, but he gives a head and neck massage during the process. He is UNBELIEVABLE!!!. And, he didn't even use pixie dust.

Jack used his shears to remove all the unwanted hair on my head that had grown so quickly. I saw one of the workers in the shop with a hair cut that I liked, so he cut it like that. It did look a little "pixie-ish" on the other girl. On me, it looks more like a flat top. But, I love it.

We ate in a restaurant close to the salon, also in the mall area. The food was okay; too American; too much. If you eat in the Asian "type" restaurants, they give small portions. (Which I think is good.) But, the American "type" restaurants give very large portions and we didn't want to try to transport leftovers.

We found that the typical Asian family shops daily, uses fresh vegetables, and eats small portions. And, they run everywhere, or at least at a fast clip walking. No wonder they don't gain weight easily. (There are lessons to be learned)

I can't say enough good things about the transit system in Hong Kong. It is so easy to maneuver and with a "travel card" it is even easier. The system is color coded for the MTR, which is their rail system. It connects to the rail out to "Dixie Lai" which is "aka" Disneyland, so theoretically, you never have to go outside to do any shopping. The bus system and taxi cabs are equally accessible, also using the travel card. The card is also good at most of the shops or fast food restaurants. It is unbelievable. It's like a debit card where you put money on the card and it automatically deducts the amount needed.

It is about 6 am and it's back to work today. I am soooooooooooooo glad. I really missed the real "Magic Kingdom", which we all know is in Orlando, FL. (And, the real castle and princesses.) I work during the daytime today. I'll get the rest of my week's schedule when I get there. It was a marvelous trip and we have approx 600 pics with all 4 sets of photos, so maybe I'll include more some time, until the next session TTFN (For those who don't know Disney"ese", Ta Ta For Now.
