"Would you like a cup of tea?"

Hang-gliding. It was an adrenaline rush and absolutely amazing!! The view was beautiful. There was the city, forest, and ocean below. They strapped us into the hang gliding outfits and from there we did test runs to get an idea of how to do it correctly. There is a ramp up on the top and you are not suppose to jump off the ramp, it is literally just you running until you hit air. It was an unreal feeling. My instructor did not give me much information on what it was like, I had to experience it all that moment. We were standing there strapped in with the hang glider and I asked him a few questions... he did not answer any of them and said ok let's go. We just started running off the ramp and it was done. It was almost as if I was flying in the air. There is a video, but I don't know how to post it and it is quite hilarious, so I am glad I don't know how to post it (I hit my head on the pole as I was running off the ramp and all the volunteers thought it was funny). There are lots of pictures, so you can see the view! It was an AMAZING experience! The guys had gone first and as they were waiting on the beach they wrote in the sand "welcome", but I did not see it.

As for the title of my blog "would you like a cup of tea?", we all thought it was so funny when one of the volunteers would say this because he is English. The way he says it is exactly how people always say it in the movies and such. We all thought it was so funny to hear it in person. We all compared how to say things in our countries and we all end up making fun of each other. Austin (also from America) and I always get made fun of for some of the things we say. I don't even realize that what I am saying is different until I look at their faces and they are looking at me like what did she just say. On multiple occasions I get made fun of for how bubbly I am. The kids at my projects always make fun of me because I say hello with such enthusiasm or when I say "omg" I always get made fun of. When we all went hang gliding, they all started saying "Hi" in the videos because every time someone was video taping me I said that. It is great to just hang out with all these volunteers, we have shared some great memories together. I am learning so much about everybody's culture and I am realizing how different we all are, but at the same time so much alike.

Here are some videos and pictures from hang-gliding :)

This statue below is used to scare animals away and people put it in front of houses to keep their house safe.

Haha... I thought this picture below was hilarious for some reason.

We jumped off of this for hang-gliding...
