Only here...

What an incredible birthday, full of fast rides, adventures, vast array of cultures and enough fireworks to blow up Parliament (Guy Fawkes would have been proud of the display!) Only in America would you experience such an insane, completely over the top theme park full of past, present and future from all corners of the world, EPCOT is an awesome experience - and to think they roll out the same programme every single day!

My favourite part was Soarin'; a brilliant ride where you are suspended above a huge 3D screen and flown all over the place, viewing mountain ranges, Golden Gate bridge, fields, oceans and then the bright lights of America - unreal, you feel as though you are on a hand glider! We also went up in a rocket launch and sped round a test track in a crash test dummy car - the options are limitless, with every single little detail covered.

The only thing I found annoying is the bloody Americans lack of manners - they do not like queuing, they just barge past, so rude! To make it worse, the majority are clinically obese so you have no choice but to surrender and give way through fear of being crushed to death. Perhaps they should consider eating less and moving more? It really amazes me how many people you see that look as though they have never attempted anything physical EVER! It really is a turn off, especially men who are supposed to be the more muscular of the two sexes - pasty, untoned, fat men...ugh!

I am most definately becoming more opinionated in my old age, very sure about what I like and what I dislike and it takes me a decent discussion/debate to convince me otherwise. Not that I would ever have a problem admitting that I was wrong - course not! ;>)

Whilst I was loving the cultural experience, when it came to dinner time I was craving some lager and English food! I decided that we would eat at the Rose and Crown pub in the United Kingdom area, after watching the Beatles live and enjoying a quick Guinness and black...mmm! That gives you an idea of how random this place is, a whole little world carefully concealed in a theme park - nuts!

And so, I am writing my blog of the experience, totally knackered from yesterday. I am ready to jump in the pool, read my book and soak up some more sun...burn baby burn!
