Jungle
Flight
Waking up today, I felt sluggish and sapped
of energy, but as my classmates and I arrived at the base of Jungle Flight, the
energy was immediately pumped back into my system. We were separated into groups and quickly got
dressed into our gears before heading out to the site. The place was
astounding. Wires upon wires were intertwined and connected between trees of
massive height. Endless screams of excitement and shouts were echoed through
the lush forest. Judging by the zeal shown by others, I can picture that
soaring through the ocean of green will be exhilarating! After being introduced
to the event and instructed how to operate the gears, we learnt that the fun
and excitement will have to be for us to explore and experience.
There were around thirty platforms around
the jungle for us to traverse and enjoy. Every platform was interesting and
unique. There were exciting ones, scary ones, and most importantly, fun and
exciting ones. The wind was howling as we glided across the wires. It was as if
we were on rollercoasters. All of us felt like Tarzan, jumping from tree to
tree with the speed of the wind. There were other cool facilities such as
walking across precipitous planks as well as riding on “skateboards”.
This whole experience was new, fun, and
exciting for us. Under nature’s nurture and care, we relished the experience of
being able to fly across from tree to tree. Today is a day that would be
unforgettable.
We were refreshed and heading to the
banquet after taking a break in our hotel rooms for a few hours. When we
arrived at the scene, we were surrounded by cameras flashing at us with the
beautiful restaurant. We experienced the way royalties used to eat 700 years
ago. We were soon presented with traditional northern Thai food and dances.
Everyone had a wonderful time and some of us even joined the dancers for the
traditional performances. After the meal, we went to release the sky lanterns.
All friends gathered around, made their wishes, and released our dreams and
wishes into the night sky.
今天起床時仍覺得很累，可是到了jungle flight的基地就覺得精神都來了，我們一組一組的換上裝備確保安全後驅車前往探索現場。場面是壯觀的。一條條繩索和一道道身影穿梭於樹林之間，尖叫聲不絕於耳，能預感翱翔與綠色的海洋中有多刺激，經過教練介紹後，我們瞭解一切都要靠自己來探索。
總共有差不多30個的設施，每個設施都很新鮮，有安全的、有搖晃的、也有很刺激的。其中有許多溜索，有的長達600公尺從繩子的一端盪到另一端，我們和高大蓊鬱的樹木同高，呼呼的風聲從耳邊呼嘯而過，那種刺激感比雲霄飛車還刺激，我們像泰山一樣，徜徉於叢林之間。有時我們必須走在搖晃的木板上，兩手抓著繩子，一步一步的往前移動。膽小的人小心地移動，深怕一不小心就會掉下去，膽子大一點的，一邊走還一邊搖晃跳動，嚇壞了沒有防備的人。
在經過幾個小時的飯店休息時間後，我們精力充沛的前往帝王宴享用晚餐。到了那莊嚴華麗的地方，我們被閃爍的鎂光燈和絢麗的裝潢環繞著。我們體驗了700年前泰國皇室貴族所享用的膳食，還欣賞了泰北風味的民族表演。每個人都度過了一段美好的時光，在最後我們甚至加入了他們熱情的表演，一同舞動。接下來，我們前往餐廳外面放天燈，大家聚集在一起，將我們的夢想與熱情化作一盞盞的天燈，推向那美麗的夜空，讓希望飛翔。
今天的活動中，我們沉靜在森林的芬多精中 ，探索更加真實的自我。在導遊的講解下，我們又增長了許多文化知識，就像一場歷史的心靈洗禮。就讓我們懷著期待的心情迎接炫麗的下一天。
