Me on one of those rides that spin you around so that you are smashed into the seat because of the g-forces and all need to hang on is quickly forgotten.
My family used to go to the Georgia State Fair in Perry, GA (the geographical center of the state) every once in a while. The rides were great because they were cheaper than say Six Flags and they had the added thrill of not quite being sure if the good ole' boys who assembled the ride really new what they were doing or when one of the bolts would pop out and you would be hurled out over the noisy crowds into a pop-the-balloons-with-darts stand only to receive the grand prize of the life-size plush purple gorilla.
So, you can imagine how excited I was when I saw that Sarajevo had a carnival complete with swings, pony rides, wheelie-esque rides, scramblers, and lest I forget, bumper cars. After some convincing of my team to leave the comfort of the apartment we had congregated at that evening for dinner, we arrived as giddy as school kids (well, maybe just me) at Sarajevo's "Karneval" (no translation needed). We were there till the last ride turned off its lights and the ponies were loaded into their trailers. I left barely able to speak from screaming my lungs out.
