Damn, this is high… One… …Two… Three… Jump! Why everybody
screams?
Uwaaaaaaaa! So that's why… …there is no choice Uwaa! Uwaaaaa! Uwaaaaaaaa! Uwa! Uwaaaaaa!

In Nepal, near the Tibetan border, there is the world's second highest bungee jump. From the suspension bridge. Into the canyon one hundred and sixty meters deep. Almost four seconds of free fall. At a speed of over one hundred kilometers per hour. When I was standing at the edge of the bridge with the rope tied around my legs, I realized that jumping feet first would be easy. And that diving head first certainly isn't. But when they counted to three and shouted „Jump!“ I jumped. Not like some others who were loittering for a minute before gathering enough courage.

Peace: In the end the hardest part was climbing from the canyon's bottom back up to the bridge. I was actually entertaining an idea of jumping once more – but than I remembered the way up and change my mind ;)

Discussion posts should relate to the article topic. If the discussion becomes a pointless banter of „Wooooow! :)))))“, or „Fuck you! :((((“ it will be mercilessly censored ;P
