Rafting/Bungee Jump Weekend

A few weekends ago, I went white water rafting with a bus full of foreigners. It was a great time as we played paintball on Saturday and went rafting and bungee jumping on Sunday. Quite an extreme weekend. Here are some pictures to tell the tale:

Myself, Jackie, Shauna and Jay awaiting instructions (in Korea) on what to do when we are on the water. I'm sure it will be helpful. Everyone's eyes are a little squinty as we had to get up at 730am but didn't care much about that the night before as we partied at the motel.

All suited up and time for some more safety instructions. This time accompanied by a demonstration. A much better idea.

A group shot before we hit the water.

Our boat/team aptly named Team #1. (L to R) Shauna, me, Jackie, Evelyn, Jay (top) Matt, Jack, Angee.

Action shot in the water.

Paddling our way to victory. The air was warm, but the water was freezing (it was early May). We tried our best to stay away from other boats so we wouldn't get ourselves into a splash war.

Another group shot at one of the break points along the river.

And after a running start it's bungee jump time. This was in a city called Inje and it was a distance of 63m over a river that wasn't very deep, which was not very reassuring.

Woo hoo. The bungee cord is attached. It didn't feel like it was for the first two seconds.

Time to relax. The bouncing is over and its time to slowly get lowered back down to earth.

We also played some paintball on Saturday. Unfortunately I have no pictures of that as no one was foolish enough to risk bringing their camera into the war zone. I bought a new camera last week, so I hope I can post more pictures than before because I used to have to mooch other people's pictures. The last few weekends have been a little more quiet since the rafting weekend as I have stayed in the city. But it has been a nice break from never being at home on the weekends.

Next: I will be going to an international friendly soccer game of Korea vs. Netherlands on Saturday in Seoul, so hopefully I can take some good pictures there!

Hope everyone is doing good at home and starting to enjoy the warm weather. Talk to you soon.
