Do you like playing on local carnivals(perya)?

When I was in my elementary days I was a perya goer. I loved doing that together with my peers. We would watch the gays dancing and singing while selling their various game of chances. I can't remember anymore the various games I was enjoying then. But now perya has been outdated and losing it's appeal because of the much modern ones like the Star City and my favorite Enchanted Kingdom. I always bring my twins there because their Mother is working there so there are always free tickets for the family.

My parents used to take us to fairs when we were little. It was such a treat for us and we had loads of fun trying out the rides. I don't play any of those games though, and at our age then, my parents definitely wouldn't have allowed it. My favorite ride was the the merry-go-round LOL, the safest and most boring of all the rides, but I love horses! I think I've tried the octopus, but I'm not sure if I ever got to ride the caterpillar. My mom wouldn't let us ride the ferris wheel though, because she thinks it's too dangerous, and the horror train too-- this was a definite no no! I really miss them, but I don't think I'll be going to the fair any time soon. A few months ago, there was a fair right in front of the mall, but as much as I liked to look at the rides from the outside, I didn't really feel the urge to go in and try them out. I think things have changed too. We have a lot of nieces and nephews now, and I have never heard any of my cousins taking them to the local carnival.

I used to love to go to local carnivals when I was younger. I enjoyed the games, food and the rides. I really do not enjoy it now that I have grown older though.

Games are one of the basic needs of life. Every one likes to enjoy their life. They do it by playing different types of games. We used to play our fold games in our childhood. Tib karibba, kabaddi, and many such folk games were parts of our daily life. We do not get chance to play them in our busy life now. The games you are asking about are strange to us. We are living across the water and we are not aware of your local games. But I think games could never be confined in a region. Games are games and nothing more than games.

It's so fun.. lol =D I like those rides as it's exciting.. hehe ^_^ BUt too bad, it does not happen as often here in singapore.. MAybe it's only once or twice a yr.. lol =D IN the past, we used to have a place for all these rides and games, but due to poor business, and it's too expensive, the place closed down.. Since then, i had not played any of those games and i do really miss them to some extend.. hehe

yes i enjoy going to "perya" hahahah i love riding octopus and i love game throwing of 25 cents! gosh i missed it!

When I was a kid, I always love going to carnivals together with my family. I really love going to the carnival and just ride all the rides that i want and play so many games and won some stuff or money..But now that I'm already old, I don't go already in the carnival because we don't have time already and I feel boring already especially now that I'm in other city, i don't go to the carnival since i ever I'll go there I'm going all by my self and I don't enjoy it..

Hello, local carnivals /church events are more commom where i am from in the summertime . I do enjoy going as well . however most of the rides are kiddie rides . i do play games , bingo , and they have a huge flea market where i always find something . my moms goes with me to the one just up the house from each august . this year my dad went and we didnt even have to talk him into going

Hi ya pehpot I used to love going to the fair when I was younger and my mum would go crazy because me and my brothers would always come back with a goldfish that we had won and she would have to find something to put them in until we got a proper tank and then they would live too long after that!! The fair came to our town earlier this year because it is so expensive now and I am a single mum with 3 kids and can't afford it. I would rather not take them rather than pay for them to have one go and that's it. It would be like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey and they would get upset because they would want to paly more!

when i was still a kid i have been visiting the perya during our town fiesta amd with the games you have enumerated yes i have played it as well. the blocks of wood that has ABC's on it, the light bulbs that goes on and when it stops on the # you have bet you win, there's also a game where you throw a ball & when it goes to the color of the same where you placed the bet you win. those were the days...

I used to go local carnivals when we were younger, now not anymore .. but I still have fond memories of going to those types of places that I hope I can share with my future kids someday

oh the last time i went to local carnivals was when i was a kid... i did enjoy riding Octopus, too. :)

i used to love to go to the carnivals when i was a kid. now that i am older i hardly ever go to the.

yes i do go to perya during fiesta in our province, what i like most about it is the bingo and the pula/puti thing. i also love to eat popcorn and mango shake there because its cheaper than buying it in kiosk inside the mall.lol. just recently i played bingo in my husband's parents place i enjoyed it but unfortunately i didn't win not even once. lol

There is nothing like the smell, sound, lights and excitement a carnival brings. As a child these were very special times for me.

I miss going to the "perya". It's a long long time since ive'd been there. I love the color game and the tossing of the 25 centavo coin. I still remember that I won a price which is a small plate and a small bear. Maybe if I encounter one perya I'll be excited to be there again.

When I was younger, I used to go visit the carnivals because the place was full of fun and enjoyment. I went there together with my parents and we liked to watch the amazing stunts of the people performing the show. I missed it very much because we really bonded a lot. Here in the city, they don't have like that in here.. Sad!
