Back in Shanghai

After a week of being in HK, it was good to be in SH. Especially after I lost my phone in HK, so disappointing. What it did do though, was give me an excuse to purchase a new phone. I was going to get a Motorola Q, but it wasn't out yet, but tell me you don't think this is so dope!



I ended up getting an O2 mini, and a Jabra 250 bluetooth headset.  I'm really happy with this phone.



Another comment I'd like to make is about HK Disneyland and the boneheads that run it. Chinese New Year is an amazing time for HK's economy because of the increased spending as well as the 400,000 + visitors from mainland China that go to HK to spend money. Disneyland this year was a massive draw, and it was quite apparent that the people behind planning did not anticipate the popularity of Disneyland. They began to close off ticket sales after entrants reached a certain limit, and did not allowed some people to buy tickets / enter the park. The problem was that many mainland Chinese bought prepurchased tickets hoping to visit Disneyland in HK during Chinese New Year and upon the order to disallow additional guests into the park, many of these people with the prepurchased tickets were turned away.

It not only ruined the vacation of some wealthy Chinese, many young childrens' first real contact with Disney was soured and the amount of people that it pissed off caused a lot of negative PR. Chinese are extremely gossipy, and word of mouth here is more powerful than ever. With the additional string of negative PR, Disney's got to hire some smarter people to make their decisions.

The one major weekend in 2006, and they mess it up. Dumbasses.
