I'm sitting in a room, there is salt on the floor, walls and ceiling and it feels a bit like being at the beach on a winters day, except it isn't cold and we are wearing blue hair nets and covers over our shoes. A mother and father are playing with their daughter, pretending we are all in an igloo...
