On my work on celebration of the 8th of Math one floor of an office was "flooded" by baloons. It was hard to walk there because you had to bend down from ropes of helium baloons on the ceiling and take care of baloons on the floor. Culmination of the holiday was launch of big part of that baloons in-to the air.
I've liked the idea and as far as meeting of my university friends was arranged in a week I've decided to repeat the show. But with some corrections of final part.

I've liked the idea and as far as meeting of my university friends was arranged in a week I've decided to repeat the show. I've bought a handred of baloons, rented helium tank. By the way it occured that there is a special compound which beeng applied to internals of a baloon makes it fly much longer. But we decided not to launch baloons. When we had recieved our portion of joy we have went to the street and presented baloons to tots. There are several kindergartens, musical school, art school and a big park near my house so finding needed amount of children was not a problem.
Children and their parents were different. The little ones mostly were afraid of unknown people but when a baloon was already in their hands expressed their joy very nicely. Older ones were ashamed to ask for a baloon alone. But large groups of them surrounded us with a tight circle. But of course there were exceptions: I had to explain to two boys that asking for a third or the forth baloon for each of them is just impudent. Some children asked how much baloons cost, but more often this qustion worried their parents.
The most popular questin that we had heard was: "Is this some sort of action?". We explained that we just have a good mood and want to share it with others. When baloons were over but we still had some helium remaining we had invented new unswer: "We just breathed in too much helium". But baloons were over so nobody asked.
P.S. So if you can see good things and ignore bad ones you can have very good time.
P.P.S. And I want to thank creators of snow Taras Bulba. Great job.
