We stayed at the Royal Park Hotel in Shatin, so Snoopy World in new town plaza was on our doorstep.
As the name suggests, the play area is Snoopy/Peanuts themed although you wouldnt need to know anything about the characters to enjoy the playground.
Its free entrance and our kids loved playing on the numerous slides and climbing frames. There...
This is a must for fans of Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang. It is free and is easily accessible - get off at Sha Tin KCR (you can also visit the Heritage Museum after that). You can easily spend a happy hour taking lots of pictures here.
a free snoopy themed playground within the new town plaza. it also got a free boat ride for children.
the children love the playground and spent a good couple of hours having fun. parents can chill out and rest their tired feet
Snoopy World is located outside/connected to this New Town Plaza shopping mall. Once get outta Sha Tin MRT station (Exit A), you're actually inside the shopping mall itself. Just walk straight till the very end from Exit A and you will find Snoopy World right outside the glass entrance - there are signs indicated where the Snoopy World is as...
For those seeking fun things to do with young children in the Sha Tin area, there is a enjoyable (free to visit) Snoopy World Theme Park at the New Town Plaza Shopping Mall. It is a small park, good for 30-45 minutes of time for the little ones.
Here you will find the expected Peanut's characters and plenty of light...
The Snoopy World is located in the New Town Plaza near the library. The Snoopy World is not very big. It takes less than half an hour to look around and take pictures. There is a small boat taking children for a few minutes ride and a Snoopy school bus where children can hop on and sit on it. You...
Unless your a Snoopy fan... an avid fan or check-in very near ShaTin New Town Plaza and has extra time then, I don't think its worth the visit.
it is a playing area for small children not a big park as we expected but still OK to go if your kids love snoopy character
This is under maintenance right now. You can't get in. Check to see if they are open before you visit. It's close to the MTR and a big shopping centre.
I never thought that this park would be located inside shopping mall area, the park is quite huge and there are so many snoopy statues around. There is canoe ride in the park but it start to operate after noon. Since this place is outdoor make sure you bring shades or hat or umbrella if you visit this place during...

Aiken gas prices
The price of gas in Aiken has risen too much. It's cheaper in Greenville.
Pink overboard
I agree with the person who is tired of pink. I know it's for breast cancer awareness, but it seems they have gone overboard.
Tax for bridges
If a higher gas tax will give us safer roads and bridges, I'm all for it. You don't get something for nothing.
Meet the mayor
I've been in Burnettown for 60 years, and I have never met the mayor.
Paving Windsor
The County should pave the dirt roads in Windsor with the money it's spending on furniture. They are terrible.
Food industry
People will continue to get fatter if they keep eating out and consuming gallons of soda and processed foods. There isn't anything you can buy these days that doesn't have corn syrup in it, which is twice as sweet as sugar. We need to go back to preparing our food from scratch with natural ingredients. Look at the old photos of your family from the '40s – nobody was fat. The food industry is going to kill us all if we let it.
Roadway litter
The litter along the roadways in Aiken is disgusting. Something should be done to clean up this unsightly image of our town. Residents need to pick up all trash on or around their properties. We should all pitch in and clean up our beautiful town.
Insurance in retirement
I retired from SRS seven years ago. My insurance premium tripled this year.
Christmas donations
Who collects the shoeboxes for the Christmas charity? I have several I would like to donate.
Money causes conflict
Most conflicts are motivated by money, not religion.
Hitchcock Parkway pros
Why is everyone complaining about widening Hitchcock Parkway. There is no beauty left in Aiken. Most people don't remember what Aiken really looked like any more.
I remember when the bypass was first built. I was a young driver, and the 55 mph speed limit went along the bypass. It helped to open up property for development and when that happened, you have more congestion. The road should have been built years ago when these developments started going in. Everyone should have known it was going to be widened eventually.

Former staffer for Lamar Alexander remains under close supervision after child porn charges
WASHINGTON — A federal judge says prosecutors have what appears to be a strong case against U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander's former chief of staff, who is facing child pornography charges.
Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola said in court papers filed on Tuesday that the supervision program in which he has placed Jesse Ryan Loskarn, 35, reduces the risk that he will continue to download child pornography.
Facciola freed Loskarn from jail on Dec. 16 and allowed him to stay at his parents' home in Maryland under high-intensity electronic monitoring while he awaits prosecution on the charges, which involve downloading child pornography from the Internet and attempting to distribute it.
"While that is, to put it mildly, a dangerous crime involving the recorded sexual exploitation of children and the government has what appears to be a very strong case, I have prohibited the defendant's use of the Internet," Facciola wrote in the court papers, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.
Loskarn's parents, Chuck and Laura Loskarn, told the judge during a hearing on Dec. 16 that the only devices in their home capable of connecting with the Internet are their iPads, which are password protected. The parents promised they would not share the passwords with their son.
What's more, Facciola wrote, Loskarn "surely appreciates now, if he did not appreciate it before, how law enforcement can track those who download child pornography from the Internet. I conclude, therefore, that the risk of his resuming the downloading of child pornography is not great."
Loskarn was arrested Dec. 11 during a raid on his home in southwest Washington and charged with possession of and attempting to distribute child pornography. During the raid, federal agents confiscated a portable hard drive that court records say contained hundreds of videos showing underage boys engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Alexander, a Maryville Republican, placed Loskarn on administrative leave while the raid was under way and then fired him later that same day.
Facciola has agreed to delay for 30 days the January deadline for obtaining an indictment in the case. The deadline is now Feb. 10. The government and Loskarn's attorneys sought the delay because of the holidays. They also suggested in court records that they are exploring the possibility of a plea bargain.
Loskarn faces a maximum of 10 years in prison if convicted on the possession charge and five to 20 years on the distribution charge.

Everything we needed was provided.
The TV was very small.
Their staff was friendly, very helpful and really seemed to like their job.
Staff was nice and helpful.
Convenient to interstate
Needs a little TLC.
Rate was way too high for the property, though understandable as it was a race weekend.
Extremely clean - everything looked totally NEW! Very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff. Bright, white linens, large bathroom, no'hall noise' - very quiet. Room was already cooled on arrival. Great free parking. Nice, hot breakfast. GREAT ROOM RATE!
What's not to like - it was all great!
Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good.
Bathroom did not have an exhaust fan.
Greeted us as we arrived
It was quiet, bed was comfortable, furnishings up to date, breakfast area and breakfast itself was above average.
There was only one person on duty at the front desk and there needs to be two to meet demands of a hotel full of people. When we checked out I do believe it was one of the housekeeping staff filling in. And this was a weekend stay.
location to our target objective
no hot water...had to advise front desk that there was no hot water
non-smoking corridor smelled like cigarette smoke---violations taking place
no cups (plastic or otherwise) in room
Breakfast was good
The price we had to pay
Great location, peaceful and quiet. The hosts were awesome and provided great information on the estate and furnishings. There were snacks and beverages waiting when we arrived and a full course Southern breakfast the next day. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! We will definitely refer our family and friends.
I love the Hamptons..They have the best beds and are the cleanest hotels.. I tell everyone I know if you can stay at a Hampton stay at them.
The breakfast could have been better supplied..breakfast was suppose to be served until 10, we went down at 9 and all the hot food was gone and was not replaced.
Hospitality. Great access to go to NASCAR race in Bristol.
Clean, breakfast not bad, staff great, room well stocked and every thing worked.
WiFi signal in our particular room was very weak but strong elsewhere in hotel
The Hardees across the street.
Dirty shower. Moldy smell
It only took 30 min to get to the race track.
For $360.00, I got two wash cloths, two hand towels, and two large towels. One of the wash cloths fell apart when I twisted the water out of it. The towel rack fell off the wall when I pulled the towel off. The blanket one the bed had cigarette burn holes in it. The AC unit would not cool the room. A piece of conduit fell off of the wall when I went to plug in the lamp, leaving exposed wires. They advertised continental breakfast but did not have one. We were worried about leaving our belongings in the room so we re packed and took our things to with us on Sunday. When we returned to the room that night it was straightened up but we noticed that the sheets had not been changed. When we decided to skip the Sunday race because of rain, they refused to credit my card. The locals refer to it as a hourly rental place and were shocked when they heard it cost $180.00 a night. It was a dry place to sleep.

At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

A beekeeper, Mike Lewis, spoke on how to raise honey bees at a new series of monthly workshops hosted by the Whole Health Wellness Center, Inc., a nonprofit community garden and education center.
The event was held at the Whitley County YMCA Tuesday night and gave participants information on making their own honey.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has partnered with Hewlett-Packard and Ascent Media Group (AMG) to digitize its library of both film and television media assets.
Using HP's Digital Media Platform, a new digital technology and services package created by AMG and HP, Sony will become one of the first studios to digitize its content. The new HP platform allows media companies to digitize, store, process, manage, distribute and archive media assets.
The digitization process began in November and is well underway, with more than 500 film and television productions already on the HP Media platform.
In addition, Warner Bros. Studios and HP also announced the expansion of their existing alliance to develop the industry's first digital end-to-end process (DETE). HP, Warner Bros. Studios and Accenture are designing an architecture that will enable Warner Bros. Studios to be the first studio to create an environment that will allow a transition of its entire film production and distribution process — from creation through post production — to an all digital, file-based process.

The Price is Right has been especially cringeworthy lately.
First we had this little gem a few days ago, where one contestant celebrated his win a bit prematurely, while his competitor made one of the worst bids we have seen.
Until now.
These two clueless contestants seem to think iPhones are made out of solid gold and unicorn tears.
"I hope the marketing people at Apple are watching this," said Drew Carey.
The reactions from the audience are priceless.
While most young people would be super excited to unwrap an Apple iPhone box on Christmas day, Grandma was not so pleased.
"I'm really not equipped to handle this," she said, noting that she uses a landline.
Fortunately for her, it wasn't exactly an iPhone, but it was still pretty sweet.
SPOILERS: She said no.
Followed up by: "CEO nobody cares about announces he is super gay and supports Linux."
For maximum effect, keep an eye on the dude on the left when "Utah Road Trip" becomes "It's Road Trip."
