Hey everyone, remember that waterfall that we foreign types have been known to jump off from time to time? Well, in June, at the beginning of summer, we decided to go again before our Goodbye Barbecue. This would be my second trip to this Beast. I went last summer and certainly wasn't planning to jump, but unfortunately, a little thing called DNA and the Theory of Evolution got in the way: my current female (they change regularly), Hong, was there watching, and all the other males, being big, burly Alpha Male Neanderthal Types, decided to jump off. I sat there, feeling totally inadequate and kind of like watching a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode for quite a while until I somehow convinced myself (read: deluded myself) that I would forever be a failure as a man unless I jumped off this waterfall.
But let me tell you: it is incredible! It was incredible this time as well, and I'm proud to say I jumped 3 times that day, in two different sessions. The water was especially raging this time, due to the recent and very heavy rains, and so I feel this is a double accomplishment. I think the whole thing is a bit crazy, though!
For more photos of this endeavor, please go to my Webshots page (follow the link on the right). I have also recorded 2 videos of it and the beauty of Yuumori Koen, where it is located. They can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPpah2xSjNQ and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJBpDz5SZBE&mode=user&search=
Enjoy!
