This little amusement park is located inside the estate where I work. It is called "The Farm", I assume because the centerpiece of the park is a pig, a cow, and a goat, all housed in sad little pens. This park, like a lot of the buildings and spaces around us here in China, is devoid of aesthetics. Broken rides are scattered throughout the park, the grass is overgrown, and trash bins leak liquids and filth onto sidewalks. One roller coster ironically has cars shaped like Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney actually went to great expense to build an entire underground city below Disney World to make the park as aesthetically pleasing as possible and conceal operations that would distract from the beauty of the park. Here, I bet for the right price I could have that pig slaughtered and barbecued on a spit over by the trashcans.
