september 6th leavers???

@Nichol
oh yes, I need to start packing as well!!! I cannot wait to meet ya all!!!! anything i can bring as a giveaway?? from germany??? :

 

: hmmm... any tradition snack or stuff that you can bring us? haha... well im not sure cos you know the best! haha

i seriously would bring some "mooncakes" over since its one of the traditional food that asian celebrate it with the mid-autum festival, which is Sept 18th this year (according to the chinese calendar) haha.. so you guys can try it if you like..  sound good huh? lol  ;D

 

Jessy - Bringing cheap, German chocolate from Lidl would probably make you the most popular person at the Commons among those with a sweat tooth! I bought some to take home to a friend and, umm, ended up eating most of it. (Good excuse for another trip to the grocery store though!) And isn't Haribo candy German? I used to eat waaaaay too much of that stuff when I first moved to Britain. Eventually I clued in that excessive amounts of fabulous Haribo goodness might have explained my expanding waist line!

Nichol - what are mooncakes?!?! I've never heard of them and anything which such a cool name HAS to taste great!

I can try and bring some Canadian stuff but, well, you can probably buy most of it from Wal-Mart anyway! Oooh, maybe Canadian maple syrup...?

@nichol
yeah, that sounds great!!! bring eveything that fits in your bags!!! and mooncakes sounds great!! how do they taste???? :

@jen
lol.... LIDL chocolate is good, but there are some things, which taste way better than this cheap chocolate bars ;D ;D ;D
I will bring various bars if you like, provided you take me to the gym the day after we ate them!!!
and HARIBO is def german, and although I am not such a big fan of those stuff, I can bring some Haribo candy over to Orlando!!! ;D


Oh yeah, eating all this stuff and then riding the rock n roller coaster must be funny!!!

 

@Nichol - U can't wait to see what I'm like on TOT!! Haha!! Ummmm very scared! lol My eyes will be like this >

Ummm I dunno what to bring from the UK! got any ideas anyone? Jen is bringing me beer from Canada ;D ;D (if it fits in ur bag that is!)

I love Haribo! I get addicted to it so I try and avoid the aisle at work with haribo on it!! lol

@Nichol - I heard of mooncakes haven't got a clue what they are tho!! and Karaoke, u won't get me up singing!! when I was younger I used to sing 'Nesondorma (by Pavarotti) go on laugh!! lol Don't know if I still have that in me now! lol

OMG loads of people have started packing and I haven't even lifted a finger yet!! I like bought a suitcase and that's it! lol

@Lillybett - cool!! big bloke = pint sheilas = half pint! haha! can imagine a lad with a sheila! lol

 

@ Jessy - I utterly promise to go to the gym with you! I'm somewhat of a gym rat... I used to go, like, four or five times a week depending on when I had a lacrosse practice or game. (Rereading that, I sound rather pathetic. )

@ Craig - don't worry about packing! As long as you have the essentials ironed out (passport, tix, etc.,) you can pack within mere days! Usually I am pretty much packing right up to the last minute if it's an afternoon or evening flight. However, that might explain why I sometimes wind up searching for something in my bag that is still sitting on a bed at home.

Woo! The days are going! I am sooo excited!

Did you guys ever go on the "floorless" rollercoaster at Sea World? I haven't been there since they built it but it looks soooo scary from the road.

Well.... this clearly explain what mooncakes are! lol

Mooncakes are round in shape to symbolize the moon. According to legend, when the Mongol Yuan Dynasty ruled China in the 14th century, Chinese rebels were able to overthrow the Mongols in part because they hid secret messages inside mooncakes, which the Mongols did not eat, that were then passed around.

Most mooncakes are made of ground lotus, or of bean or seed paste, and other ingredients, occasionally with egg yolks in the center. Different types of bean paste, from mung bean paste to azuki bean paste, can be used; in any case, the preparation of the bean paste is very time-consuming, requiring two to four weeks, so families usually buy them at professional bakeries instead of making the mooncakes themselves. Sometimes one or two dried, salted whole egg yolks are baked inside.

Mooncakes are expensive and considered a delicacy, and modern mooncakes come in many flavors and sizes. There are even fat-free forms for the health-conscious (traditional mooncakes are often baked with lard).


so if you're allegric to any ingredients... Oops, sorry! lol  ;D

here's a pic of one of the traditional mooncakes!

I can get some cadbury's choc with crunchy bits in it real cheap so might bring some of that. I was telling Nichol that I would bring my mums recipe for Yorkshire Pudding too.

 

@ jessy - hmm : i'd like to call them 'mooncake' still.. lol.. this name rocks!! candies are just too general! haha

@ craig - be sure you bring your shades to the park, otherwise, you wont be looking as cool as him -> 8) lol... DO BRING THE RECIPE!!!! if youd end up making messes in the kitchen, we'd order take away! lol

yeah, you better talk yourself into this by sep, as this wont be the only ride you will have to jump onto!!! lol
Nichol and I will def take you on every ride and since we have a cast member ID, we wont have to wait for ages to get onto those rides!!! Thus, we will get us a fast pass and ride the TOT etc. over and over again!!! oh and the worst case would be that you throw over and we have to hold your hair back, but since you've got short hair there won't be a job for us at all!!! lol ;D

oh, and pleeeeeaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bring cadbury's choc with crunchy bits!!! My teeth are really looking forward to "meeting" them!!! : :
