Theme Parks & Jihad

I know most of you would be thinking that I must have gone crazy, whether I know what I am talking about when I relate Theme parks and Jihad. Have patience and read till the end of the blog and then make up your mind.

We recently went to Orlando for a 5 day vacation. It innocently started with all but me excited about meeting mickey and mini and spiderman. Not wanting to be a kill-fun i joined too. But in the back of my mind I was wondering why it took us 5 yrs to go back to a theme park? We had been to Los Angeles Theme parks before. I convinced myself that I might not have liked that other visit to Disney land and Universal studios because we just had 2 days to see all and it was 5 yrs ago. So I got into vacation spirits shortly after having a satisfying pizza snack in orlando airport. Little did I know of what was to follow....

That night eager to start our vacation with a bang we went to 'Dakshin' an Indian restaurant. The decor was just like getting into a temple, thanjavur carvings, statues and pillayar and all. The menu boasted of yummy south indian items.( We also discovered that contrary to popular belief, Goa is in south india ) . The price was loafty, ( 2 idli = 8$ ), but we decided to take a shot and we were confident of our secret weapon 10% coupons. Long story short, Bill was 100$, service extremely bad, and food tasted as if it was made with requirements spec from a certain software company ;-) But we decided not to let this dampen the spirit. You might ask what does it have to do with theme park and jihad, I am just starting.

07/15/2006 : I got bored of blogging...and here is the short version of where I was going, Theme parks were so expensive, boring, un-stimulating, typical and did i mention expensive...that I was tempted to start my own jh=ihad/ freedom movement to banish all the theme parks from the face of this earth. I would rather watch a river flowing sitting in one place for 10 hrs than to go on a BORING ride / see a show in a theme park.

Guys...leave the imagination and creativity to entertain humans to mother earth...and she is free..
