The amusement park was filled with a happy upbeat tune which was unfamiliar to Lin Sanjiu. Every now and then, there was the sound of chiming bells. The sweet scent of fried ice-cream and cotton candy filled the air. Under the bright sun, the whole place had a lively, cheerful atmosphere like a carnival.

Occasionally, some of them would get caught in a tree and a few gray pigeons would burst them with noisy popping sounds.
