Today I visited the equator very touristy but well worth it! Of course I stood with a foot in each hemisphere. We visited the actual one and the pretend one. There is a museum at the actual one where you can do all kinds of proof experiments. We did the water spinning both ways and then stright down (I made sure I videoed this!) I was quite excited cos I´ve always never been quite sure whether people were just lying when they said it was different in each hemisphere - I forgot to check in Swaziland!
I also balanced an egg on a nail apparently it is easier on the equator I got a certificate for that I´m contemplating framing it when I get home!
I was a little gutted tho cos I must have a really good sense of balance . You´re not suppose to walk heel to toe with your armsout and eyes shut on the equator but I found it very easy. Nobody else could do it so I felt quite left out!
