A Much Needed Update
So much has happened over the past few days that I've wanted to post, but my inherent sense of laziness mixed with my bad habit of procrastination has kept me from doing so. But I've finally found the time and effort to post! So here goes:
The past few days here in Orlando have bene great. I love this place even more every day. I had Sunday and Monday off, so I was able to explore more and I enjoyed that. On Sunday I went into Disney's Animal Kingdom to ride the new roller coaster Expedition Everest. I had never been to Animal Kingdom before, so it was a good experience all together. But my main reason for going was to ride Expedition Everest! AH! Such a good roller coaster! It doesn't open to the public until April, but they had a special cast member only preview this past weekend, one of the many perks of working for Disney! And let me tell you, it's great! The storyline behind the ride is this: An old abandoned railway through the Himilayas has been reopened for transportation. However, the locals warn of the dangers and urge you not to ride because of the Yetti: the protector of the "snowy regions." But of course, you do ride. And it's great! The special thing about this roller coaster is that you go backwards as well. Very much fun, but I don't want to give too much away. You can see pictures of the ride and my visit to Animal Kingdom on my Webshots page.
So after I got back from Expedition Everest, I just laid around and was lazy for a while, something I haven't gotten to do too much of recently. Later Sunday night I went to Downtown Disney and Pleasure Island with some friends. Always a fun place to go. I got a couple of CD's at the Virgin Mega store and went shopping in the Cirque du Soleil store. When I got back at 2 a.m. I immediately fell asleep. Good times.
Yesterday, Monday, was another sort of lazy day. I cooked, which I like to do when I have the time, and did some house chores. Then later on I went with Yago to a Brazilian strip mall type of thing. There was a grocery, restaurant, nightclub, and electronics store all owned by Brazilians. It was very cool, like a little Brazil. But they all spoke Portugese. Yago bought a bunch of Brazilian food from the grocery and I tried a new soda from Brazil called Guarana. Guarana is a cherry type fruit indigenous to Brazil whilch they have a soda flavoured from. It's wonderful! So I'll probably be going back there in the future to get more Guarana. And that was pretty much all I did yesterday. Nice to relax every now and then. Essential too, especially when you're living in a resort area! But today I have work, from 2:30 until 8:30. Not too bad, so I'm happy with it. Maybe I'll go out tonight, who knows? Some of my friends had mentioned something about a movie...we'll see I guess. But now I've got to get ready so I can catch the bus and get to work. Off to Disney-MGM!
