WELCOME TO THE VIRTUAL ROOM OF RED BALLOON!

You may have noticed I am not in the English room today!
For the next few weeks I will exist in a little box on your computer screen. Until we can teleport Harry Potter style this could be the next best thing...

South Africa is such a diverse and interesting place to explore there is much to be discovered: culture, music, food, wildlife, history and politics. It is going to be an exciting time and I will no doubt learn from your technology tips too! So here we go...

Box of ice


This is the picture of an ice skating rink, this is one of the pictures I got incorrect on Lee's picture challenge. I do have an excuse though, there was no sky in this particular photo and as I was guessing every picture on the way the sky was, like if it was a clear blue sky, it was South Africa, and any other type wasnt. Anyway I assumed they wouldnt have an ice rink in South Africa, I suoppose because its always nice and warm, I thought 'why would they want to stand in a box of ice'. It must be tricky keeping the ice strong and thick as when I asked Lee what the hottest day she had has so far, she replied 36 degrees. It must be rare though to find a shop in South Africa were they sell ice gear: skates, big coat etc, they would probably find it odd in the shop if it was 36 degrees, and I asked for a wooly coat and gloves.
