What kinds of tasks do the balloonists compete for?


It is not “speed or distance” that balloonists race for but “accuracy within a limited time” in most cases. Generally, a balloonist is required to drop his/her marker onto a target on the ground after flying several kms. The target is either declared by the event director or by the pilot him/herself before departure.

Redecorate a room for cold season♪

It's getting really cold here. So I redecorate a room. No more bamboo carpet, but electrical carpet with winter carpet. See my cute stuffed Elmo, Bigbird and Cookie monster
