Baba, you have so much wisdom, any hemisphere would be delighted for you to stay as long as you like. :) :) Crossing it and visiting other areas is very fun but you can do it from your living room, much safer, too. You've gotta love the internet for this :) :)
I don't know where the equator is -isn't there supposed to be a green fence with the letter E on it ? Last time we crossed it got so hot that some of the sbip's superstructure began melting; messed up the gun barrels -made them look kind of limp.
