A Carnival 公園的狂歡會

Thursday evening we went to a carnival or street fair that set up nearby. Tickets were cheaper the first night 第一天晚上, 票都打四折 and our children were happy to go on a couple of rides that were designed for their age group. I am not really a carnival ride fan, street fairs are more exciting, but it was fun. It is especially interesting to watch other people. Of course the excitement that parents of young children get from watching their little ones enjoy rides is nice to see. The rides for older children and adults are in some ways more interesting. I have never been a fan of the really rough rides. 1st photo 摩天輪, good ride. 2nd photo, bad ride.

I feel that if I want to suffer nausea, sickness and general physical punishment, I shouldn’t have to pay for it. There are plenty of free ways to do it (能夠免費收到痛苦, 何必付錢?). (I admit I have done so too many times. Not too long ago we were white water 漂流 rafting in Tai Shan 台山, our small raft almost capsizing 4 times and got stuck in a whirlpool 船卷進了漩渦中 with a raft of weight-mismatched high students –one really heavy, one really thin.) But strangely enough, it is fun to watch other people on them as they enjoy spinning around and being tossed up and down in stomach churning movements worthy of a torture and interrogation session….sin nature.
