A good way to fight that December greyness there.

And I'm torn... Do I get the tiger, zebra, dolphin, shark, t-rex or the parade horse? I think I need to get the zebra!!!

[topum]

Just get them all. That's what I always do.

I want a minion balloon.

Cool shot :)

I want ten times more than this to see if they will be enough to carry some my eight and allow me to make those really huge and high "slow motion" jumps.

The colors are just gorgeous! *snags all the dolphin balloons*

Business would have been brisk for those guys had my LJ flist been there ).

Hah, I noticed I wasn't the only one wanting the balloons! So colorful against a grey(ish) sky...

I have to confess that I am growing to like how monochrome winters in Europe are too. It took me a while, I used to run away to Asia Pacific for winter.

No country can be bothered to make crap like these balloons domestically. They are all made on the cheap in Chinese sweatshops and those giant sweatshops cannot be bothered to care what local theme might be popular in Serbias and Moldovas of the world and do separate designs for those small quantities. Plus, no one can compete with Hollywood and these things are mostly about Hollywood all over the world. Serbia would never be able to afford the investment required to produce anything of the quality comparable to Hollywood.

Entertainment is just a commodity these days and the US is a prime producer of it pretty much like the Middle East is known for its oil and France for its wine.

I'm trying to figure out how he untangles the balloon you want fron the rest, for example if you want the Hello Kitty one, would you be there all day waiting for him to untangle his Hello Kitty?

Ha, interesting observation. I did not see anybody buying them but I think they just hold it exactly were the string is attached to the balloon and pull the rest of the string it out.
