There is nothing scarier than doing something that absolutely freaks you out and yet the only thing that is moving you along is pure bravado. As I stand on the tiny little platform with my arms wrapped tightly around the tree, I curse myself for not backing down when I had the chance.

I have to admit that this is a good example of me being *sei oi min* (literally translated = die also want to keep face = ego). Even if it very well kills me, I will prove that I can do it.

And do I did Lol. My arms are hurting like hell today but the exhilaration of pushing myself and completing the course and having my Hotel General Manager clapping for me = priceless, man!
