Still feeling like i'm upside down...

just got back from 'asian day' at wonderland. I really dont see whats so asian about it. There was some concert or somethign that we didnt go to at night but that was it, there was nothing around the day to show anything asian. The line ups... were not long, it was crowded in the streets/roads/pathway , but not in the actual lines. And wonderland isnt really cheap anyways. although it was only 30$ or so to get in, not sure how much cheaper it was, but everything there was expensive. first of all the go bus to get there was 4 something each way, combine that with a bus ticket and there goes 10$, then the food was like 5$ for a not so different hot dog. And that was already cheaper compared to the other stuff they had there. Then we spent some money on those imposible games, watching us and other people fail for the most part. That throwing ring game, where you toss them over a whole bunch of glass pop bottles in an attempt to get one of them on, if you get one on you win like the biggest prize... and then we all pitched in to get a bucket of like 50 rings or so... and nothing, its impossible they bounce off, and we didnt see anyone else land a ring... then the best ride: the bridge of timberwolf ( the ride with the log where when it reaches the bottom, it makes a huge splash forward, soaking the people on the bridge in front) so I went for like 5 or 6 times, was completely soaked by the 3rd time so it didnt matter after that. and spent the day in wet clothing,(had a towel and extra shirt but no pants) so spent a portion of the day in the hand dryers in the washroom. The day was sunny at times so it wasnt too bad 2-3 hours of standing outside. and then we left before the show at night, saw a few people that we knew during the day, apparently some people had vip passes for front or something but didnt matter it'd be crowded anyways... so that was a long tiring expensive day that was definetly worth it.
