before we started the trip the 4 of us decided to go to sky diving together but when we went to the great ocean road the other 3 girls they said they were so scared about that, and I said if you don’t want to go I can go sky diving by myself and I booked a sky diving trip online and the next day I got up early and go to the sky diving spot and there were a driver he could pick us up to the sky diving ground and in the car there are 2 people except the driver, me and an indian guy. Actually I was not afraid about the sky diving I was scared about the guy cause he always want to talk with me but I can’t stand him because he has a strong accent and when we went to the location i dont know I felt really relaxed maybe cause I’m alone. Strangely the indian guy was so nervous, he was keeping rubbing his hands all the time and I felt he is so ridiculous and I typed this to my friends and I said it’s so funny. The whole process of sky diving is so fast and I really didn’t feel anything scared cause it’s so fast.
