Enjoying Paraglyding

Sun shines so bright, Saturday morning, a perfect weather for our paraglyding activity. My friend pick me up at the house around 7:15 then we headed to Skytry headquarters in Okazaki. At exactly 8:00 AM we leave the office to go to Gamagori, Tahara or Toyohashi. Since the wind is good in Toyohashi as they say, we drive all the way to Toyohashi. After an hour drive we have reached Takatsuka, the place has an elevation of 70m or more, the area is close to the Pacific coast facing the sea. As we reached the top the instructors started to put out all the gears and gadgets we will use for our flight simulation. My friend Chiyo was the first to take off, the instructor put on her safety gear then instruct her what to do, then all I know Chiyo had already take off. I am not afraid of heights so when it`s my turn I am still calm but when I already jumped the clip I freaked out. It`s like a suicidal attempt. We started to fly and I was really amazed. The view is awesome, it`s a great feeling to feel the wind on your face, flying together with the birds. It`s the longest 1 hour of my life and it`s an experience worth trying for.
