The Pneumonia Scare

[elusivek]

Right. The Wuhan Pneumonia Scare. The Coronavirus. Whheee!

Not really as scary as the media has made it to be, at least, in my circles. It’s caused a bit of inconvenience in that face masks and hand sanitizers are like gold currently, prices are skyrocketing.

I always had a stash of face masks anyway so it’s fine. I don’t use hand sanitizers. I prefer to outright wash my hands.

And I was gutsy enough to travel out to Hong Kong yesterday as well! My good friends C and P have our annual “Third-day of Chinese New Year Lunch” (Chinese custom: don’t visit people on the third day of CNY as you’re going to argue 赤口) in Disneyland this time. I thought it was simply because of the character dim sum, and C thought it was because it’s “the year of the Rat” (so, Mickey Mouse), and well, P says it was simply to eat.

No surprises though, the food sucked LOL (as one would imagine these cutesy foods would taste). Though they didn’t even actually looked nice... *shrugs*



The park (Disneyland) was actually closed yesterday! We simply just went there for lunch. Shopped a bit at the gift shop (got a nifty knit cardigan-poncho thing for half price!) Then, back to Macau. Immigration was clunky with the extra health check point. But otherwise it wasn’t too bad.

Can’t believe I actually went to HK Disney twice this month. Took mom (and her friend) there last week to have a walk around and this time for lunch.

Bay-Max though, that is pretty cool.

I thought they'd closed HK and Shanghai Disney's until he virus scare ended. My sister and I go to Tokyo in March and I was worried they'd close that Disney too.
