This is the time to reflect what we have and not to take things for granted. With that said, we are very thankful of what we have.

The Meadowlands Pet Expo 2011
by Adrian
As I was refilling my fish tank filters at a pet store, I saw a flyer advertising for a pet expo few weeks ago. Thinking I would see lots of animals and fish, we decided to explore the expo today. The expo started yesterday (Nov 18, 11). Tell me whether it is worth it.
Overall, I find the expo so so. They only have one tank of goldfish. Geez....! There were more owners with their pets than the animals itself. Oh well...! I suppose no more future visit from us.

Universal's Islands of Adventures
by Adrian
Note: This was the continuation from our Orlando trip.
It was the last day of our trip and we decided to pay Harry Potter a visit. We have been hearing people raving about it. It is the newest attraction to the park. The park was under construction when I was here eleven years ago. At that time, it was only Universal Studios which is next to Islands of Adventures.
Entrance to the park
Port of Entry
Seuss Landing gift shop
The Lost Continent
Harry Potter and Forbidden Journey
Hogwarts castle gates
Street of Hogsmeade (Look who passed out)
Hogswart Express
Owlpost is a system of sending messages or items using owls as the carriers. Besides the Owl Post Office, individuals and organizations with their own owls use them as their mail bearers. (Source: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Owl_post)
Butterbeer is a popular wizarding beverage described as tasting "a little bit like less-sickly butterscoth. (Source: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Butterbeer). Side note: It tasted like root-beer with a squirt of melted butter.
Three Broomsticks restaurant where Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger enjoyed drinking butterbeer.
Glimpse of the food served at Three Broomstick
Chargrilled ribs, corn and potatoes
Cornish pastries and garden salad
Collection of wands which sells at $30 each
Cyclops projecting an optic blast pose
Princess Amoura and Sinbad

Princess Amoura and SinbadOverall, we find the park very exciting and fun. Unfortunately, we did not go to any rides since Brandon is too young for it. Perhaps on the next trip. Anyway, here are some tips from us. Just be ready to pay more for food and merchandise. Also beware of rude people as well. They will cut your line.
