stuff
I tried to jump off a building today
.... it didn't work out
But the good news is I didn't have a panic attack so it's probably feasible to do some time in the future
Macau Tower http://www.macautower.com.mo/eng/adventure/adventure_activities.asp
I attempted to skyjump (is like a controlled skydive)but I couldn't take the last step. I was literally on the edge, but i was either out far enough but holding on or just a step back and not touching anything
The guy and I talked about it for awhile and I just couldn't make it happen. He was even like we can have you go backwards if you'd like (now that would really freak me out). Apparently I was hanging out there on the edge for like 15 minutes. I mean I was appropriately terrified (as is to be expected when attempting to jump off the worlds 10th tallest tower)at one point I was shaking but I was really surprised how rational and genuinely not freaking out I was. there were zero tears.
one day.
We spent the night in Macau. We checked out one of casinos and I made a little money on the slots ... but only after losing a more substantial amount playing blackjack. ehh w/e it was fun. we also hung out in the hottub and steamroom and sauna at the hotel ... i forgot how much i love saunas
The day before Kate and Brendan Bungee jumped, they use the same platform and safely stuff for both the skyjump and bungee so they do them at different times.
we had a delicious Portuguese dinner and walked around ... its beautiful place and it was wonderful to see Latin characters more than Chinese ... even if it was in Portuguese...
Friday we took the day off and went to Ocean Park, it's HK's amusement park, zoo and aquarium all rolled into one. They have 2 roller coaster and after being harassed by Kate and Sean all morning I stood on the line for the 1st one we found.
yeah Kate took my hand right as it started/ I started having a panic attack.... apparently I clenched my nails into her hand....I was also involuntarily crying and shaking for a half hour afterward
Apparently the play by play was ... tears started flowing as the ride lurched to a start then it was ... kate, I'm gonna kill ... kate we're gonna dye.... incoherent screaming .... oh my god ... I'm gonna dye ..... silence......hysterics
I had to force myself to not try to get out of the restrains during the ride and as soon as it stop I tried to curl up
so this is why I don't do roller coasters.... or rides in general
less than 2 weeks in HK I think I'd like to be back
p.s. this week I'm probably going to be working constantly .. I'm not excited
