I'm a Chinese, it seems like you guys are EXTREMELY excited about the chicken head on the plate... ^^" This is a Chinese tradition, it happens all the time, especially when you order a whole chicken plate. There are many different story behind, but one of the reason I've heard was because the restaurant want to show that they didn't cheat you, they really did serve you a whole chicken, instead of serving 2 chicken for 3 dishes. Since there can only be 1 head for a chicken, so they can only able to show you a head only if they serve you one whole chicken. I am Chinese and I never knew this! I thought it was just a Chinese thing to have chickens with heads and feet on them. My mom would have probably have eaten the chicken head. Heck, her favorite part of the fish is the fish head! Yes, my family eats weird things. My grandmother used to eat the chicken butt. Yes, you heard that right...chickens have butts. _________________ Check out these links: www.ioacentral.com www.youtube.com/barryh1972 www.myspace.com/barryhom www.rollercoastervids.com

HKDL gets insanely packed, I saw a news story maybe a year or so ago where they hit capacity so many days in a row the vacationing tourists became so irate they could not enter the park they knocked down the gates.

I had to open a currency converter to calm my heart rate! I'm better now that I know that $20 wiener is less than $2.50 U.S. (and that the $110 three-course meal is actually under $15). Those are better prices than the original Disneyland! ^^Barry, the first I heard of it was a couple years ago when a group of professors and students from the university where I work went to China as part of an exchange program with a partner university in Dongbei. They said tradition dictated that the oldest and wisest man at the table received the head as a special honor, as it is the part of the chicken that holds the knowledge. In their case, the head went to the interim dean of our business school.  Description: It's a Small World Hong Kong is now officially natatomic's favorite attraction!  Viewed:  13769 Time(s)

"Smarter than us!" Mmmm, that's good reference. Quote: Buzz Lightyear was pretty much the same as all the other versions. Don't forget about this hidden targets in the lightspeed tunnel or the one under Zurg's medallion! Did they have the 100,000 target on the red Rock 'Em Sock 'Em's arm? _________________

I haven't seen a Disney park this empty since I had the priviledge of visiting Eurodisney in early 1992. Sure, there wasn't much there (BTM, Pirates, Phantom Manor and not much else), but it was totally a fair trade-off, getting to enjoy the short lines and the park all to ourselves. Disney ERT RAWKS!!
