Walking on water

It turns out that, among other things, I can walk on water...at least fall on my butt on water! My friend, Daniel and I went by 天津天塌 (the TV Tower Park in Tianjin) and saw these balls you can walk in, though it was substantially harder than I thought at first. We drew a crowd of about 30 people who were interested in watching crazy Americans make fools of themselves, and we were more than happy to provide the entertainment. There is a limit of 15 minutes in the ball because it is air-tight, but when we both got out, we felt a bit nauseous and light-headed due to the high levels of carbon dioxide. I think we lasted about 10 minutes before we finally gave up.
