What is the wildest thing you ever did?

 

[PhillyGirl]

In Yangshuo, China (google it: the most beautiful place on the planet), I got into a rickedy old Jeep with the owner of my hostel, a guy from Dallas, my boyfriend, and 2 friends. We drove through a bamboo forest in the boonies, out past some villages, and found "the secret spot" of the Li River. We went tubing all the way into the downtown area of Yangshuo (we washed up at a somewhat posh restaurant, haha), going through rapids, stopping to jump off cliffs, etc. It was the most spontaneous, potentially deadly thing I ever did, because we barely spoke Chinese, they barely spoke English, and we agreed to get into a car with them and go tubing lol. They could have kidnapped me or murdered me and no one would know .. But instead I had the best experience in my whole time in China.

Shortly after that, we rented motorcycles in a back alley, with ZERO EXPERIENCE, and rode all over the countryside, through villages and mountains, going to hot spots like Moon Cove (again, Google it .. crazy beauty), etc. It was exhilarating.

Sorry for the novel!

You have the house/apartment to yourself, no kids, no spouse, no family, no nothing, nothing that needs to be done .. What do you do?

First off ,I always have the apartment to myself. I live alone. Nothing needs to be done? No chores or errands? I may watch a movie,catch up on some TV episodes, check out the forums, or just take a nap.

What would your perfect meal be, from dinner to dessert to drink?

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Start with a harsh IPA or an old fashioned. Steer butt tender if Fred Gang's still existed off hwy 280 in Mountain Brook. John Ed Willoughby (of TC and John Ed radio fame) owned it. Some seasoned up green beans and garlic mashed taters. Creme brulee for dessert with some strong black coffee.

You got to go see this place. You have two way to get up to the castle: horse and buggy but only half way, the often is to walk all the way up the side of the mountain. we did the walking up, But that was in 1979, but ,if you watch any Disney movie are been to the park you see the castle.

 

[rick4bama]

I'm still waiting on the advise.
