Okai, let me tell you a brief story about why Disneyland Paris performed badly at the very first place.
EuroDisney was the former name of Disneyland Paris. EuroDisney was opened in April 12, 1992. Due to certain failure and crisis, they decided to change the name to Disneyland Paris in 1994. Disneyland Paris performed poorly because they did not take culture dissimilarities and reference criteria into account. Before its opening, French had voiced strong opposition to how American family amusement park was threatening highly individual French cultural traditions. And so, general European attitude toward America with European values and traditions had generated an overwhelmingly negative effect on performance of the park. The local viewed Disney's project as 'World Homogenization' and 'Cultural Chernobyl' because it tried to appeal entire European market instead of just the French. For example, the name EuroDineyland suggested the park is not local in nature. For the French, it's Europeanized while for European, it is Americanized. Disney failed to recognise the antagonism toward US long existed in Europe. However, the biggest problem was financial instead of the cultural part. The investment was too high. Investment of hundreds of Million in M. Eisner's (CEO of Disney) newest hobby, architecture, blew the bank! Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.... At last, Disneyland Paris started to get profit in 1995 after they had changed the name and it is very success now.

Around 6pm, me and my parents went to A place to have ABC dinner. We ordered few dishes. We estimated that this dinner would probably cost us RM 40++. When the bill came, it turned out to be only RM 23. We were all quiet and ciao asap once after we got our change (i don't dare to tell the restaurant's name because i afraid their kids would read this and say 'papa, she is the one who paid less to us. Let's sue her!' WEI, you yourself counted wrongly, not i paid less okay! :p). As you know, we are all human being ma, right? :p When you lost nothing but earned, you would smile happily and ciao. When you earned nothing but lost, you would probably stay back and question them for why charging you so expensive. Correct? :p Haha, mami said that they had missed counted the last dish that we ordered separately. That's why our bill turned out to be so cheap. *muahahahah* (arhh, don't do this often, remember karma? i believe in it.)
Okaii, nothing much to blog about. Very sleepy, i am off to bed now. Goodnight!
P/S: Ahhhhh, when i was about to close this, i saw my tree has became an apple treeeee! So many apples on it. Hahahahaha! Kay, ciao!
