Hazel's Magic Lantern ハシバミの幻灯.

The Bangkok Pride Festival strives to engerder a sense of community among the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender (GLBT) population in Thailand, and to empower everyone with a stronger sense of pride. This year's festival takes place from November 3-11 and throughout the week everyone holding a gay pride pass is entitled to a 15% discount on all food and merchandise items at Bed Supperclub. The week culminates in an orgasmic event of wanton hedonism as Gay Pride teams up with Bed Supperclub's own Sunday night gay extravaganza - Think Pink. Join us as we give a joyful sendoff to Pride Festival 2007 and eagerly anticipate Pride Festival 2008.

Bed Supperclub is best described as a unique combination of upscale restaurant, club, art gallery, theatre and stage merged into one. The white, minimalist interior of the restaurant was designed specifically to act as a three-dimensional canvas for each night’s events, which includes a regular theme change every two weeks with interactive performers, installations, singers or dancers.

Some papers reported that the Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park was a copycat of Disney theme park.

 

They said that the characters inside the Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park, including look-alike Mickey, Donald Duck and Cinderella were ugly. The character performers were not professional. They took off their costumes in front of visitors to cool themselves.

 

The report said that when a Japanese TV reporter asked the manager of the park if there was a character copying to Mickey Mouse, the manager replied that it was a cat with big ears instead of a mouse.

 

Media from Japan , USA and England also reported this issue. Some media commented that Beijing was stealing other people’s dreams.
