Jilin Panorama

¿Remember that movie ¨Wayne´s World¨? Back in the day, a friend of mine made up a song, using the music from Wayne´s world and substitued Wayne for Huang. I think it went like: ¨Huang´s world, Huang´s world, Chinese food...¨ Anyhoo, the following is on my adventures in life.

The Gibbons Experience

Before we started the trip, we heard about this amazing experience in Northwest Laos, zip lining. The only problem was that it was in northwest Laos, and we were coming from the south. We definitely bent over backwards for this which included a 6 hour bus ride from Vang Vieng, then a 14 hour bus ride from Luang Prabang to Huayxai. But, in the end, it was worth the effort.

I had an incredible 3 days which included some great hiking, company, and of course, zip lining over the forest. It was an intense rush, as I hung by my harness, up super high, and going fairly quickly over the trees. There are some videos below of my zips. You might want to watch it on low sound because of the extremely loud, annoying screeching noise that the zip contraption makes.
