Remember bounce houses, couch forts and tree houses? Those were the days when we had no inhibitions. When we just did whatever we wanted to to do. Now we grow up, become adults and it suddenly becomes “uncool” or “inappropriate” to do those things anymore.

I say, forgetaboutit.

I decided to return to my childhood at The Valley of the Waves, a water park at The Palace of the Lost City Hotel in South Africa. They had these giant inflatable hamster balls. Take a look in this YouTube video.

Growing up, I used to watch The Price is Right every morning at 11 A.M. during school break. Watching the show tape with host Bob Barker was on My Adventure List – until he retired. However, I’ve always been fascinated with the Entertainment Industry and love watching how the magic happens. On Sunday I had the opportunity to watch The Ellen Show tape at Universal Orlando. This was my first television taping experience. So I’ve created some tips to help your first taping be successful.

Sign Spotting Sunday: Gold Reef City Warning Sign

Published October 18, 2009 at 11:21 am | Email This Post Email This Post

Gold Reef City

Essentially this sign reads, “we tried our best to make this safe. We’re not responsible if we didn’t do a good enough job”. Gold Reef City is an amusement park in South Africa. I took this photo 2 years ago on a trip and thought that it was funny. I’ll share more from Gold Reef City later. Until then, be safe – at least to the best of your ability!
