| | | Hmm, you sure do not know what went on last year. It's best to stay home and fire up the barbie. | |

There were thousands of people last Easter - and the main public toilets broke down as they are only designed to meet the "demand" of the restaurants. The restaurants were not even nearly full - it was the intension of HKR to promote the Water Margin - but 7/11 and Parknshop were. The beach was closed for the residents, you had to purchase "tickets/entrance vouchers" to get your children onto the beach to dig for Easter Eggs. 1500 kiddies were digging - the stronger ones beat the smaller ones for the eggs...
Hope it is better organized this year, there were huge complaints last year from residents and businesses reporting damaged properties and stolen bicycles. | |

The toddler of a friends of ours got badly beaten with a shovel last year from another kid. The beach was way too full to control anything there. I hope this year they organize it in some kind of age groups at least. | |

| | | They do throw some great bashes in DB, like Halloween, Picnic in the Park, Valentines Day (the beach looked fantastic with all the candles) the flea markets, Mid Autumn Festival, New Years Eve at the Plaza as well as the Multi Cultural Festival. Last years Easter Bash was badly thought true and organized. | |
