Lousy crane

I've reached Koh-Samui yesterday and what an horrible commercial island it is, an island with McDonald's and KFC in it is not my cup of tea. so let me tell you about the reason I'm here, true, it's the bungy site.

Well, before I've got here I made some checking about this place over the Internet and I've found out that they advertise themselves as (and I quote) "accident free since June 14 1992" !!! what the bloody hell had happened at June 14 1992? what exactly did occur at that particular day? I tried to make some checking with the bungy master who denied any connection to any kind of accident.

Anyway, this bungy site looks like the face of this island, it's a lousy crane with a lousy pool at the bottom, and their scale is defiantly uncalibrated. I had a bit of fear from going up on the scale after the last 3 months in India and Thailand, I was worried about the extra wight I must have gained during this time. I went on that scale an it showed 6 Kg less, I repeat, less than since I've last been scaled 3 months ago in Nepal, I immediately told him, "it's can't be true, your scale is uncalibrated." so he gave a closer look at the display and dropped another 2 Kg, Well, what can I say? weird, but as long that the scale fits the site itself I ain't going to argue.

I always wanted to jump and my head would touch the water but I never expected that I would enter all the way up to the waist and I really didn't expect it to be so unpleasant. at the second jump I tried to do some rolling on the air but at the end the bungy masters told me I succeed doing only half a roll, well, next time I'll do better.

I also update my photo album so you can check it out.

Koh-Samoi Bungy

No turtles around here.

I am now at an Island named Koh-Tao, also known as the turtles island, where exactly are the turtles? I can't really tell but the truth is out there somewhere. anyway it's a beautiful beautiful small island, only 5 km long, all cover by coconut trees and surrounded by beautiful beaches. exactly like I ever imagine an island should look like.

But the main issue about this island is the diving, and before I do that I had to get rid of the cold I caught in Delhi, can you imagine catching a cold in Delhi's dreadful heat? for myself I didn't think it's possible, well, think again, everything is possible in India.

So after 4 days of tearing every corner of the island with my brand new powerful motorbike (50cc scooter), I'm finally starting the diving course.

I don't know why I actually do it, I have ever had no desire to go underwater, had no wish to explore that other world and definitely had no urge to go where there is no air.
So, you may ask, so why do you do that? well, cause everybody does that today, everyone has their diving license, and everyone goes to diving vacations. so, you might as well ask, and what if everybody jump out of the roof or from a bridge, would you do that as well?
Did I hear you asking me for a bunjy jump? cause the answer is I can't wait, there are 3 bunjy sites here in Thailand and soon enough I'm going to check them up.





I have another story to tell ya.
A couple days ago, a Thai transsexual lady tried to hit on me on the dance floor, I just burst into great laugh, it was so hilarious I couldn't hold it in. on her second attempt she asked me if I'm not into women, so I just politely answered apparently not... apparently not.

That's it for today, tomorrow I'm going first time to the great ocean so wish me luck.

You say jump I say how high

Yesterday I went back to Nepal adventure world called "The last resort", my main reason was to do night bunjy jump but if I'm already there for two days they have more adventures to offer.
so at the first day I went canyoning which is abseiling through waterfalls, the highest waterfall we abseiled was 45 meters and all three hours of the canyoning was so great although I hit the rocks few times and got few scratches and bruises. anyway, I highly recommend it.

After the canyoning I went to jump my third jump at this site and now I have good news and bad news, the bad one is that I gained 2 Kg since my last jump two weeks ago and I can't even blame the weight-scale cause it's the same one, the good news is that someone told me there are two bungy sites in Thailand .

As my second jump I jumped backwards but this time instead of falling back (head down), a little leap back, legs down and looking at the bridge go farther away and disappear (when flipping), when I flipped the cord hit my back and cause me another bruise (which i felt it only later) but the good thing about it that it cause me to forget the canyoning bruises.
The bad weather canceled the night jump for my great disappointment but as I said earlier there is always Thailand.

The full moon party was very nice, at the middle I've noticed that both my feet were bleeding (but no pain), well, it was 3 leeches sucking my blood and spilling it all over.
The following day start with an early jump, (instead the night one) this time I jumped regular forward, and as the bunjy master told me up there, you need to recapture the feeling of the first time, well, I can't say it wasn't fun. it was fun.

That's how was my last two days, tomorrow new day and new adventure (you don't want to ask).

take care and don't do stupid things

Again??

Of course
again and another time again backwards.

what am I talking about?
I found my purpose in life.
yesterday we went to do a bunjy jump or to be more precise bunjy jumps.
this time, compare to the jump in New Zealand it was higher (around 160 meter) and from a bridge, as I always wanted to do, and not just an ordinary bridge but a suspension one.
with the same weight as last time (3 month ago), this time I was first to jump and with much less pressure I had beautiful jump (everybody agreed I had the best one).
At the second jump I ask the guide if on the jump I can spin myself, so he tells me "No, cause you are going to jump backwards". my first reaction was awesome, the reaction after the jump was AWESOME!!!!.

Anyway the combo deal is that the 2nd and the 3rd jump are very cheap and the 4th is toll free, so sometime on the following weeks I'll go jump 3rd and 4th but this time it's going to be night jumps.

so stay with both feet on the ground and have a happy birthday

(tomorrow 22nd).
