Ropes Course

On Monday, the start of Jake's break, we decided to go to The Nanjing Massacre Museum with some of our friends (Chad, Sarah, Chaz, and Kirsten), but due to the holiday it was closed so we ended up going to this ropes course thing. This is something that is most likely not available in the US unless you sign your life away and promise you won't sue, but in China that is not the case. We had a great time riding the chair lift up and taking a toboggan slide down. At one point there was a lady there waving a red flag to tell you to slow down....but Jake just sped past her. At one point I was thinking this is something that I should probably be wearing a helmet for. After that we went on this ropes course, where you would step on swinging tires and boards, cross an area on logs, climb up a net, slide down a pole, etc... At the end, there was a metal slide (another thing that they have taken out of parks in the US) our friend Sarah sat on her jacket and slide down. She flew down the slide so fast and almost flew over a wooden railing at the end. The slant part of the slide was metal and then at the bottom it was wood, so she hit pretty hard and then flew through the air. We were all glad that nothing was seriously hurt. It was getting a little dark so the pictures aren't the best.
