   There's something profoundly depressing about watching the people of an ancient eastern civilisation getting excited by a cartoonish simulacra of 1950s USA. The mere disappointment is turned to torture by the unrelenting soundtrack of kitchy Christmas songs, and the workers being forced to hang out in the rain and tell everyone to "have a magical day". Shanghai Disney, gotta love it. Yes I'm cynical, #GetOffMyLawn

      Goes to a theme park feeling fatigued and funky. Finds a cafe with comfy booths, finds a free WiFi connection, gets online. Feels instantly better. Am I addicted?

         On reflection, the thing I found just before the net connection was my first cup of tea for the day. I think what I'm actually addicted to is caffeine, and the fatigue and grumpiness were both withdrawal symptoms of that.
