I'd do it again! For those of who have experienced bungee jumping, share your experiences. I would like to hear what was going through your mind or what was said out loud.
Speaking your mind when it matters to you. My personal rendition of life in my failures, successes, struggles, happiness as a father, a fisherman, a working citizen in today's day and age.

Life Experience - Bungee Jumping
Oh My...exhilirating, heart pounding, nervousness, sweat racing down my head. What was I thinking! Standing 50 meters above ground all suspended by a single bungee cord. I was atop the structure as shown in the picture below with the guide in my earlier post "still in Bundang". He says "breathe, is this your first time?" Yes, I replied. "Ok, take your time, see the coffee house" as he pointed..."When your ready, jump towards that"... I hesitated three times. Then alas, I said "WTF...I am already here and strapped", I ran and jumped. As I ran I knew there was no way to turn back, too much velocity to hold my 95K body mass. What a rush! leave your worries behind, all is lost but you in mid air for that split second and then whoosh, you feel the cord pull on you to ease your fall and up again.

Still in Bundang, Korea
Boni placed a new post of her dinner with the kids at Wol Mi Jung. Yup great food, great company and always a menu that provides a cure for anyones worst hangovers, thats the Korean culture. Well, I am still in Bundang and had more opportunities to see the growing city. At almost every apartment compound that I have seen, there is a park that is suited for the neighborhood's dynamics. Strolling along the sidewalks, you will see vendors making their daily sales with a variety of products being sold, a flea market, but neatly designed to not cause congestion and have people move freely to choose and purchase their likes of any kind.


I was taken to see one of the most popular parks in this area. It is called Yuldong Park. A 4.5 kilometer pathway situated around a lake. rest stops and restaurants includng a bungee jump facility is in this park.
Again, I was amazed with its beauty. Polly, here is a photo I was able to acquire via google, sad but true still no camera with me, but I assure you it looks like this. Wouldn't it be nice to see our Susupe lake transformed into something like this? I know there are plans for its development, but not sure exactly where it stands at this point.
