Reding Hot ir llooning Most of us hve wthed hot ir lloon s it hs flown quietly ross the summer sky. But did you know tht people hve trvelled in hot ir lloons for over two hundred yers? In Novemer 1783, fter spending months designing nd uilding their lloon, two Frenh rothers lled Joseph nd Etienne Montgolfier wnted to find out if people ould fly in it. Two men limed into their invention nd went up into the sky ove Pris. The rowd elow ws exited, ut very frightened. Only two months efore, the first hot ir lloon in history hd flown into the sky, ut its pssengers were duk, hiken nd sheep! However, the men flew for twenty-five minutes nd then lnded the lloon sfely on the ground. Everyone heered. It ws the strt of hot ir llooning! The suessful flight of the Montgolfier rothers lloon ws ig news, nd lot of other sientists nd engineers wnted to design igger nd etter lloons. Only two yers fter the fmous first flight, people were le to fly long distnes in hot ir lloon. A Frenh lloonist lled Blnhrd, nd his Amerin o-pilot Jeffries, mnged to fly ross the English Chnnel etween Frne nd Englnd. It took two nd hlf hours. People thought tht new ge of interntionl trvel ws out to strt. However, in the end, hot ir lloons s form of trnsport never eme populr. It ws just too expensive nd dngerous, nd most people preferred to keep their feet on the ground. In the nineteenth entury, sientists invented trins nd stemots, nd, then lter, rs nd plnes, nd no one ws relly interested in developing hot ir lloons ny more. But then, in the 1930s, with more modern mterils, nd with the introdution of different type of gs lled helium, new genertion of hot ir lloonists disovered the enjoyment of llooning. They flew higher nd higher, rehing heights of over twenty-five kilometers ove se level, nd found out tht humn eings ould survive so high in the sky. In the lst forty yers, lloonists hve eome exited out reking long distne reords gin, nd hve mnged to hieve wht the Montgolfier rothers ould only drem of. In the lte 1970s, three Amerin pilots rossed the Atlnti Oen in hot ir lloon for the first time. In 1981, four pilots rossed the Pifi Oen, flying from Jpn to Cliforni in just 84 hours. Sine then, other dventurers hve roken even more reords. Trvelling t speeds of lmost 400 km per hour, Rihrd Brnson nd Per Lindstrnd went ross the Pifi in 46 hours, nd in 1999, Bertrnd Pird nd Brin Jones went ll the wy round the in just under twenty dys in lloon. 4

There re, however, lots of surprising things out Indi, too. I ve just returned from my first trip to the ountry, nd in this log, I wnt to write out some of the things I found out. Did you know, for exmple, tht Indi is gret ple to go if you love musi festivls? And I don t men trditionl musi. More thn hlf of Indi s popultion is under twenty-five nd they love pop nd rok musi.

A lot of mrriges re rrnged y fmilies in Indi, nd it s importnt to them to find out s muh s they n out the person who their son or dughter is going to mrry, so sometimes fmilies hire detetive who heks tht their son or dughter s future husnd or wife is telling the truth out their fmily, their jo nd how muh money they hve. Indins lso hve surprising view of euty. One of my Indin friends told me tht I hd put on weight when I met her for offee on my seond dy in the ountry. I ws surprised, ut she wsn t eing rude. In Indi, people think tht gining weight is sign of looking helthy nd more eutiful. In ft, if you re very slim, Indin people worry out you! I think it s good tht Indins ren t lwys worried out eing thin, like mny Europens re. However, these dys, lot of young people re overweight euse people there re relly keen on fst food.
