 Oooh hot air balloon ride? I just remembered that I always wanted to do that over Bagan https://image.nostr.build/c3639977f4c994ae07e407a90192d9fb391104a232c53fa222b84d9c50f3ab58.jpg

 Beautiful!

But IDK about balloons. This may sound ridiculous, but I'm very phobic of heights. Unless there's something solid-appearing, within reach, and higher than my center of gravity, then I'm totally cool. IDK which way I'd take a balloon ride, and I won't know until it takes off...

 and then just you and the wind and the hot air…. I fly in lots of things and hot air balloons are scary to me. But a dirigible, yes please!

 I understand because I couldn't do a cruise ship. I wanna see land and have it within my reach.... But I have no issues with flying ✈️ it doesn't really make sense to me. I wouldn't jump in a hot air balloon for the sake of it, but I would do it if I went to Bagan. Because ancient pagodas and balloons seem irrisitible.
