    ZOMG! Bungy Jump!

    Ok so I am posting this video to show you my bungy jump that I did when I was in Macau during the summer. Yes i'm pretty much showing off dont hate me for it

    During the summer me and a few friends when to stay at another friend's place in Hong Kong, where we then went to tokyo for a week and then back to Hong Kong. We heard that Macau had the highest official bungy jump in the world so thats why we went (as well as the gambling and the Venetian).

    Its 233 meters.

    I look extremely cheesy in this video. Probably the nerves.

    Dude, major props. That's such an insane height to jump from.

    The most extreme stuff I've done are white water rafting (class 4) and ziplining, neither of which I think is all that extreme tbh.

    Seriously considered sky diving... looked into the time/cost/possibility of death/etc, but I'm thinking that when push comes to shove, I might freak out and refuse to jump from the plane. I like doing exciting things, but I have a pretty intense fear of pain and/or death.

    I don't really see the thrill in jumping off very tall buildings.

    The thrill is the adrenaline, the half a second where it feels like your actually floating and then the wind starts rushing and for 5 seconds (which feel a lot longer by the way) it feels like you are speeding through the air like a missile. Then the cord bounces you up very gently and the rush stays with you for hours.

    Yeah when you think about it, it IS a pretty stupid thing to do, but for me it was worth it

    I really want to go skydiving, but I have to look into costs and time. Im not really afraid of the whole "OMFG MY PARACHUTE WON'T OPEN!!" thing, I'm more afraid of what Nikki might do to me if I ever did it O.o
    She's very protective, even from myself.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    Yes, I understand that. I'm not a retard, I understand the basic principle of it all. I just think it's absolutely smurfing retarded.

    The video made me realize something.

    I'd feel more comfortable jumping out of a plane than a tall building.

    Your open mindedness is inspiring.

    I have to agree with Bunny on this subject. It's never made any sense to me.

    I'm learning to fly Cessnas. It's not really that daring or scary though.

    Tôi đói.
