We went on a family vacation here when I was little.

I only have a couple memories, but I will never forget them.

I remember the night time not being like any other night time I’ve ever experienced here in the states. The cold was different, and I loved it.

We stayed there for a few days, and every night my dad would give me a little gold coin and I would go over to a lady selling cotton candy in a little booth on the street and get one.
I think I did it for three nights in a row, and I she remembered me every time.

One night, we ate at a seafood restaurant that was in the shape of a boat. I can’t remember if the actual restaurant was the boat itself, or if the boat was just a part of the outside.
To get to the restaurant, we had to walk up a kind of plank, wood with ropes on either side, like on a real boat.
On the inside, where you wait to be seated, there was a box that you look into, turn a wheel, and pictures would flip really fast to create a movie.
I asked my dad for a coin to view it, and I remember thinking it was really cool.

Then I read the sign at the bottom of the movie box, and it said something like ‘you don’t need money to use this, but your donation is appreciated’.
And I felt like they tricked me into thinking I had to give money in order to view the movie box!

lol

I’ll never forget those memories.
