OK, so 2 days ago I went to Bhota kosi on the Tibetan boarder and screamed and kicked my ass off jumping from 500 ft. I did it twice. I had to they had a deal for only $20 for a thing called a canyon swing if no has heard of it. I was a happy liberating scream…..honestly was not that scared until I stepped out on the edge and looked down………..then holy shit. You fall for 8 full seconds strapped to a harness and rope….looks like thick thick climbing rope. When you fall you are going 150km/hr!!! So I did that first and was not expecting that kind of thrill!!!!!! Oh man what a rush!! I thought yeah I will swing around for awhile but you straight drop for 8 seconds……phooooo man it was awesome!!!!!!!! It’s the tallest canyon swing and second highest bungy in the world……….sooooooo worth it.
After that I did the bungy jump and just jumped as far as I could suspended in air then dropping straight down to the rocks and river below for 4 seconds then springing back up and falling again……….man I am addicted and cannot wait to go again. I have dvd’s of the both jumps I bought from the company…….I’ll show you when I get home!!

I am in a half developed country now and I feel really relaxed. Theres road signs, subway and stop lights. Above that I am seeing a lot of popped collars and gelled hair……it’s getting closer to the U.S.!!!

I am in Bangkok. Today I me and Pepsi hung out. Really his name is Pepsi…..will not be forgetting that name. It’s a 18 yr. old Thai kid I met and he was kind enoug to show me around. Real cool kid. The food hear is really good. It’s about 30 C and really humid. In about an hour and a half I am going to Kao Toa to get certified to scuba dive. It takes four days with 4 or 5 dives on your own. First I’ll learn in a pool then go out with an instructer. I have really wanted to do this for a long time and I guess the waters and beaches are amazing……close to the same place that the James Bond movie was filmed……………not this last one but the one before. Anyway it’ll be really cool and I am super excited. It’s a 10 hour bus ride then a 1 1/2 hour boat ride to get to the Island. I’ll be back tot Bangkok the 6th then am going to Pataya for 3 days 4 nights and catch a plane at 6 a.m. on the 10th.

That is what I am up to!!!! I am going to get some food and some beer and then jump on the bus soooooooo take care and I’ll see you in a couple of days!!!!!!!!!! If I get time will tell how the diving went.

Oh yeah took the GRE but have not heard back from the college but really really hoping they accept me!!! The scores were not so solid but solid enough to get me in?!!!

Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. oh yeah and it is true there are dudes walking around here that seriously look exactly like the Thai girls………..It’s scary.

I ran into a mud slide in the road on the way back and was flying out the same morning but eventually a bus made it across and I made it into Kathmandu late the night.
