Merryland and Bungee Jumping

Saturday, a group of 10 took a trip to Xinan, about a 2.5 hour private shuttle van ride from Yangshuo to Merryland, an amusement park. I mainly just wanted to go for bungee jumping. It was only at a height of 50 m (164 feet) and you were hooked at the waist, but it was still pretty fun. Most people just jumped off waist up...but not me. I decided I needed to get my money's worth, so I dove off head first and did a front flip. Much more exciting in my opinion. This was a also a celebration for Mark's leaving. He's also another good friend of mine, and I'll miss him as well. Here are some pictures...The first one on the right is of the entire group- from left to right: Esteban, Cher, Mark, Joey, Justin, Linda, Me, Rabbit, Fran, and Tina...

So, that's it. You're completely caught up. I'm just laying here on the computer, hanging out in my apartment, and glad to be finished updating. We finally got some cooking supplies from the school, so maybe I'll whip up some dishes before too long. Eiki's birthday is tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll have plenty more stories for you in no time. Hope you enjoyed the posts!







More to come...
