That plane is scary! Wow to the rock balancing. Were you thinking about suggesting the guy tries the rock balancing on the beach in front of the runway in the first video, Mincey?  8)

Good finds Mincey - I found this one this week - it looks like the consequences of cutbacks in the kindergarten music program in 1994.

I've seen the plane video before. It's at Princess Juliana International Airport, St. Maarten, in the Carribean. The large planes literally do just skim the fence.

I've just arranged 2 holidays for clients, going to Bhutan (one via Kathmandu, Nepal, and the other via Delhi). I've subsequently learned that there are only 8 pilots in the world qualified to fly into Paro, due to it's mountains approach, etc.

Take a look also at this one in Nepal!

Some great clips there though. Loved the music one, Diane - quite apart from the great twist with the guitar, it's a really good song, and I've downloaded it from iTunes.

Sorry I didn't post this earlier - I'm just back from Accident & Emergency. I'll spare you the gory details, but basically this great big f****** rock fell on my foot.

They should have said "don't try this at home".
