And it's a good thing she insisted on the camera because I've been meaning to take a photo of this crazy playground. This is the main piece of equipment at the playground:
I've noticed that most of the playgrounds around here are quite heavy on the climbing apparatuses and this piece is no different. But what really gets me is the slide. There's nothing to sit on! You just wrap your legs around the two bars and slide down. Something tells me that playground equipment like this would never make it at the U.S. playground.

When I lived in Germany, we had great playgrounds! Huge slides, big bungee swings, zip lines, see- saws and other "death traps". I wish they still made playgrounds like that here, they were fun to play on.
We had something similar (in addition to a traditional slide)on the playground where I worked in Texas. The kids would either wrap their legs around it and slide down like you mentioned, or would go down with the poles under their armpits. They seemed to enjoy it.
holy cow, that playgrounds slide looks more like an art project then a child friendly slide, lol
That sure was a smart little girl. And what a cutie pie, too. Miss you guys.
Now *that* looks like FUN. ;o)
