Hot air balloon are such an incredibly stupid concept, it's unbelievable. The flying part is all right, but the fact that you have no idea where you'll land, or even if you'll land without killing yourself is just stunning.
I mean, what was the pilot of that thing advertising? "Hot air ballon trip! Cheap! Enjoy the awesome Chinese view! Hit trees!"
Thumbs up to the Scotts for being just amused by the whole thing; I'd have totally jumped.
