White Water Rafting and Bungee Jumping


Saturday was really fun. Brendan and I, with some friends, went rafting in Gwan-ju on the only river in Korea with anything resembling rapids.
We had a great Korean Buffet lunch and then went bungee jumping.
I didn't jump because I have some pretty serious back issues that were exacerbated when I fell backwards out of the raft and landed on a rock. However, Brendan did.

One of our friends was set to go before Brendan, but chickened out twice. It took Brendan jumping and not dying in order for the guy to man up and take the plunge.

In order to fully appreciate this video, turn up your volume so that you can hear the terrible noises he was making before, during and after the jump. Also the repeated "Oh God!"
He's groaning so loud near the end that I thought for a second he was hurt, but fear not, he was just freaking out.

Please try to ignore my loud, grating voice.

  1. Is it pathetic that my favorite part of that video was getting to hear your voice again - I miss you being a phone call away. Glad Brendan survived the jump!
