…in Carnaval Festival of course!  Our friend Ron on Facebook told us that the characters on the wall behind the dragon in the China section of the ride say ‘無任歡迎’ [wú rèn huānyíng] and mean ‘Not Welcome’*.

Now we understand why he always looks angry!

Not Welcome

Not Welcome

 

*Ok, so we posted this, and then got told that the translation was not correct!  Apparently, it mean ‘no matter what, you’re welcome’.  Whether you’re rich or poor, or whatever your race etc.  Thank you Anna for the correction!
