Lol....I still scratch head what a local tourist actually do

One fella once proudly told me he decided to drive the Great Ocean Drive 'like a local' (aka a commute...) towards Geelong rather than from it.

Hope he enjoyed the views of the shrubs or trees instead of the coastline...lol

You mean ppl from Sydney will be driving along Great Ocean Road like a person living in Geelong?

should go try, the fun part is going up and coming down, once up there is all the wow with breathtaking views.

but the fun and challenge is more on setting up, getting the balloon up, next on landing where the staff on site will chase after the balloon with his truck, then try to hold on to it from fall over that might injure the passengers.

Will it cause flight/air sickness for those that might have a air sickness.  My younger daughter eat too have air sickness.

actually huang shan the climb is so shack. Surprised so many people can complete it. The number of steps is really no joke. 

I climb the steps from the viewing platform at the langkawi mountain back to the cable car summit already shack out liao. It's 320+ steps.

Based on the angmoh young guy traveling, he said it's 1 way. They go down here then at the bottom is considered the midpoint, they will turn around and ascend back up.

It's a 1 way traffic.

Sorry don't get it but it looks like a disaster waiting to happen should someone or some people panic and starting pushing and charging up or down the steps... looks like got no safety consideration in allowing the steps to be packed like sardines...
