万花筒 2010-02-16&02-17 如何在情人节说：我爱你！

So this is me getting belted up for the trapeze, just to try out that potential Valentines gift. I have to say I am already exhausted¹ after doing the warm-up, but need, must, I'm gonna go, up there.

 

I think it's doing just something completely out of the ordinary. I think people with, on Valentine’s Day they want to surprise their partners, do something together, just do something completely unexpected.

 

Tense to feel higher once you’re up there.

 

Have you done it? I can't speak that on camera and I haven't. It's exciting enough for me to work here on daily basis.

OK, so this is the point that we may return, and going up the ladder for that valentine's treat, here we go.

 

Oh my god! (release it, good,great!) Happy Valentine's Day! Is that what to say…

And one, two, three. And she's standing².
That's great.

 

It was speed and excitement you are after on Valentine's day, then you could, for ninety dollars, try parlor³ boating on the Thames, like me.

 

Only valentines couples do get coming, cause it’s really really cold, it's freezing.

Yes it is cold, but we have a lot of tourists on board. And once you decide to come to London, you can't then decide what the weather gonna be like.

 

Ah, it’s great!

 

One guy actually proposed to his girlfriend on this boat, sitting right here and she did say I do. So be fancy, a high-speed romance, forty plus miles an hour, this is a thing for you alternatively. It's very cold, you could try a nice cozy⁴ candle-lit dinner for true. That sounds very appealing.
