Bungee Jumping in Guangzhou
Dear Diary,
My first Bungee Jumping ever wasn't easy it was as a Birthday gift i gave it to myself in the 13th of October 2012 i flew to China (Guangzhou) ... one thing i decided to do was this Bungee jumping thing as life is an adventure n am not willing to live it beside the walls.. doin new things everyday n visiting new places n exploring new things..
that day was different so sunny n warm i woke up early noone knew what i was about to do so i dressed up n went to Baiyun Mountain its a place where ppl go to spend their days, do some activities, do some sports, n others do extreme sports, n thats what i was goin to do :)
1. Signing up and Paying
As i reached the office they started to do some medical checks on me pulse, pressure, weight,... n then i signed some papers to approve it.. n here comes to select which package .. i choosed the exclusive one ;)
2. Preparing for the jump
My number was first, so I was asked to sit down and they immediately started harnessing me up. First I put on a harness, then the bridge guys (jump masters?) wrapped a towel around and between my ankles, then they attached the rope. They also asked how wet I wanted to get (one of the benefits of jumping above a river is that you have some flexibility with regards to hitting the surface).
3. Out on the ledge
i walked a long bridge all the ppl were lookin at me waving n waitin to see me jumping this 45 meters high lead of faith it was a long walk with all the thoughts rushing through my brain i felt very brave a lioness n all those feelings faded away once i reached the edge where my jump will start :(
i looked down n my heart started to beat like an African drum, i felt chills n cold sweat all over my body, ... well scratch the lioness thing above will you :l
i saw every thing soooo tiny n far, at the bottom was a small lake n everything else around was green...
4. Stepping off to the air
This was slightly surreal. I wasn’t sure that I would be able to do it until I actually did it. At first, it felt like time stopped (like those cartoons where the characters hang in the air before looking down and dropping). Then it was just falling through the air. The thing that surprised me is that there is no jerk at all, the whole motion is very smooth as the bands take up the slack and stretch. Once you are bouncing around it is exhilarating.
the adrenaline was rushing like 200% n i was screaming n waving to the crowd as i actually did it YESSSSSSSSSSSSS ....
5. Back to earth
finally they pulled me up back to the bridge where everything began n i went down to touch the Earth again as for a second i thought i won't do it again..
i went to see my video n pictures they took for me it was funny, amazin, hilarious,... i loved em all ..
It was a great experience n an amazing memory that was carved in my mind n heart as well maybe n maybe not i will do it again but the first time is always special...
