Not Entirely Perfect

Spent much of the day at Disneysea, Tokyo's equivalent to Disneyland. The place is extraordinary in its strenuous attempts to make everyone within happy by offering beautifully designed and crafted landscapes loudly shouting their various perfections. Sterile, of course, necessarily so. Promising paths on which to stray and get adventurously lost, but never allowing anyone to really do so.

But the human stuff trotting around remained stubbornly imperfect, not quite living up to their surroundings, and having a cheerfully foolish time. A real enjoyment was on hand just observing the mismatch. Never thought I'd find such a disney-fied experience charming, but I did.
