Well, I am quite an adventurous babe but the people around me are not as enthusiastic like I am when it comes to adventure. Kinda sad, because each adventure is best if you had a friend, family member or partner to go with. And yes, share that little adventure with.
I've always admire National Geographic, Discovery Channel and all adventurous TV shows that shows people adventuring round the world and actually SEE the world. How I wished I can backpack and carry a DSLR and roam the world without carrying huge luggage and shopping... Haha~ Kinda impossible, cause I have the bad habit of shopping everywhere I go. ^.^
But, there are some places in the world. Not really far reached and not really EXTREMELY well-known yet, have the kind of adventure I'm looking for.
1. CHINA Yi Shan Village at He Feng Town in Hu Bei Province "Metal Cage" || 湖北鹤峰一山村 "铁篮子" (Test of height)
Defying nature with the test of courage to sit this Metal Cage like the villages do EVERYDAY! You'll NEVER EVER FIND THIS IN SINGAPORE!
This cable wire stretches 1000m across and it's has been operating for 17 years! And it's whooping height of 480m above ground level equivalent to approx. 145 storey!!
Just look at the image! No belt no proper shelter and it's like just planks below you!
This granny rides it like a BOSS! Do you dare? YES FOR ME!! :-D
2. CHINA Chang Kong Cliff Side Plank Path at Mount Hua Shan || 华山南峰东侧山腰的长空栈道 (Test of Height and Courage)
Having a test of calmness and determination to walk one of world's hardest mountain routes!
Looking at this photo makes me think I'm in Heaven already lo~ Reminds me of Journey to the West too...
You actually have to walk the planks and you'll need to rent the harness and clip them on the chain while walking so if IIIIFFFF you fall you still have something to hold you on~
The planks looks super insecure lah~ Imagine you are walking and some fat ass comes along... You can imagine the mental wildness that will go through your mind?
And some areas of the cliffs doesn't have planks but small holes for you to hold on and climb... -.-
After so much walking, you'll see the so call legendary Temple which converted into a Teahouse. And yah... you need to walk your way back the same route to get back down on ground level! Seeing all this will you feel your feet wobbling already? Me too man... -.-

3. Africa Zambia Devil's Pool Victoria Falls (Test of Height, Courage and Luck)
Having a dare-devil swim on the edge of a Water Fall!
Situated adjacent to the famous Livingstone Island. The famous Devil's Pool Victoria Falls is located along the Zambezi River on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Look at the view! It's better then the Infinity Pool at MBS O.O

Look at the black guy~ He's at the edge! Wonder isn't it normally very slippery? Filled with algae? Maybe he has suction ability feet! But boy~ I'll like to visit here someday! Checkin in facebook and make everyone jealous haha!!
4. Vietnam Son Doong Cave (Test of Height and Survival in the Jungle)
Exploring a CAVE! Do you know that Vietnam Son Doong Cave is biggest cave in the world! Over 5.5 miles long, has a jungle and river, and could fit a 40 story skyscraper within its walls.
A 80 m drop from cave's entrance to the cave's ground!
A river in the cave and also many you'll be able to spot Monkeys and Flying Foxes in the cave's jungle~
This cave is now open for visitors to explore and yes, buying one less luxury bag to go on a expedition like this?
I'M ALL IN!

5. USA Miami Sky Diving (Test of Height and Courage)
Why Miami? Because of too much CSI Miami. All the beach and clear skies... It's my dream to go to Miami.
I've always wanted to do sky diving. But no one I know is ever interested in that. Sigh~ Isn't it fun to let your souls free and jump down the plane and scream your hearts out?
Striking poses like this? Haha!
Sending a sweet note in the sky like this?
Gosh! It's so FUN!
I do pray hard and wish a Godsend angel to accompany me to all these adventures. But, no matter what, I'll set aside 5 years to complete these places before my heart gets weaker each day haha!
