Orange County Fair
July 7th - 30th

On the way home from San Diego, we decided to stop by at the Orange County Fair to see Paul's friend Sarah perform salsa swing. After the show, we ran into more of his friends from work, including Justin & Jenn.

Anyway... I tried the most horrific American Fair Food which ultimately wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!! Wow.. I've always avoided trying these foods, but I've been somewhat curious about them thinking... "Who would eat those!!??" Thanks to Justin! He was so determined to find his favorite food item... the fried Twinkie, so I stepped into my outer boundaries of stuff I would eat! We ended up trying some fried Snickers candy bars, fried Twinkie cakes, and fried Oreo cookies! (The Oreo cookies were pretty sick though.)

They sell everything fried! Even fried Krispy Kreme donut chicken sandwiches! I'm getting the chills just thinking about it. I wouldn't recommend this type of food for daily consumption, but I thought it was kind of fun to try something different and step into American tradition (Is it American tradition?). Someday, I want to introduce these horrific foods to my friends in Japan!! Yea, these types of foods will never be found in JP for sure. (I hope..)

Dreams come true! I've always wanted to dine at the restaurant right by "Pirates of the Caribbean" since I was a little girl, but I never got a chance to do it. And I stopped going to Disneyland for a long time. I think the last time I was at Disneyland was more than 5 years ago. Since my sister is a big Disney fan and was in town, we decided to go there with her this time :) We had a great time there, and there was definitely the magical spirit at Disneyland which I thought was lacking at my last visit. The FANTASMIC show was amazing with all the special effects including film projected on water, fiber optics and lasers, and the fireworks for the 50th anniversary "Remember... Dreams Come True" was impressive as well (although, they had to stop the show in the middle of climax due to high wind...). At least we saw Tinker Bell fly from the Matterhorn to the Castle which was fun.

Dine in experience at Blue Bayou was really cool. There is no place like this where creates interesting atmosphere and food is excellent considering we are at a theme park. It's so dark inside that everything seems almost ghost like, and you see all the riders go by... We are in the same room, but it creates weird distance between them. It's definitely a place to go at least once when you are at Disneyland! We will be going back there for sure!

Stunning and magical show! Must see while they are in your town!!
Cirque Du Soleil is in town now performing Corteo in the tent under the Grand Chapiteau at The Forum, Los Angeles. This was our first time going to see their tent shows... and I was blown away by their performances, stage presence, set design, and the costume design. Very European, classical, and nostalgic style. It just took me away to a complete different world. Everything about it was just ...wonderful.
