yest i had quite a fulfilling off day :) woke up at like 6+ juz to go white water rafting...hahaha..it was fun!initially,i was still quite scared la..cuz the guides kept talking abt all the things u have to do if u fall into the water..n they kept making disclaimers of not bearing responsibilities for any injuries or even death..den i was afraid tt if i do this n smtg actually happen to me,wat is my mom gonna do..hahah..turned out tt my fears were unnecessary la..cuz the guides were really gd..as in they were really cautious lor..we were really lucky in a way..cuz the guides said tt they have not seen the james river rise to such a ht in so many yrs n over the past few wks of summer the river was not as high..yest was 8 feet plus..n there were some pretty strong rapids which my guide said he had not seen those in yrs...so i felt we got our money worth! :) but i felt tt the strong rapids (those class 4 to 5 rapids) were actually quite little..prob abt 4 lidat..if the river was not lidat on normal days,i seriously dunno wat the heck the ppl raft on..where will they get the rapids to raft??the only thing i regret is tt we din buy waterproof camera to take pic..hai..so din managed to take any pic while on the raft.. so after the rafting, we took numerous pics to make up for it..haha
the four of us who went rafting!

we were actually not so wet liao..but in order to have the feeling tt we went into the water,we showered ourselves b4 taking pics haha martin, one of the guide there..not our guide,but we talked to him alot cuz he went to japan to live for 8.5 yrs..hai..lucky never ban men nong fu my lousy jap in front of him hahaha..
