    It is..it is fun!

    Well, I had marks on my stomach when I tried the australian style of going down, but otherwise the hard part is only the first step...after that, you just hanker for taller structures to rappel from...course I also imagined I was beside Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible...

    Or Spiderman? Nakita mo na ba yong spiderman na stuntman (is he a Frenchman) who climbs buildings with bare hands and suction cups? Yon ang dangerous.

    Trek sa volcano maybe. Cross the lake au naturel maybe. Masyadong laid back ang Tagaytay.

    About this rapeling at Memorial Circle, ito ba yung monumentong may rotonda na malapit sa UP? How are you able to rapel down the monument, parang desecration yun di ba?

    I was a behaved high school and college student. No booze. No grass. No frat. No gambling. Boring ha.

    unfortunately, they didn't allow us amateurs to do so on the monument itself..(^_~)

    just some good old-fashioned wood structures were the challenge of the day
