My 1st jump! 🤪🦸♀️💫 Yes, ladies and gentlemen! I did it. Took me around 1 whole year, starting from my friend's excited pitch to the moment I volunteerely threw my body from 4000 km in the sky. First, I was saving money, then sick, then weather was bad, then I went to Russia, then sick and weather factors 5 more times. No, I was not afraid, I swear. Just the day before the jump, my brain went like: "Omg, no. I mean YES! Or no...ah it's happening...for real!" There was absolutely no reason to be worried thought: I'm not afraid of heights, was jumping with my friend (who does it nearly 20 years) and another friend was beside me, doing it for the 2nd time! Jumping base is located in Saitama (NW from Tokyo around 1h40m with some walking and bus ride). Day we chose (Oct 5th, exactly 4 years since I'm in Japan hihi) gave us fantastic sunny weather right after typhoon the day before. Instructions are super easy, and if you're not freaking out, instructor will do everything for you, including landing and gently pushing you from the plane. After putting on a cute pink overalls, it's finally happening. We board a plane and start ascending. When I thought to myself "That's pretty high", I found out we're only half way up. Then its getting real: door opens and ppl go, fast, 1 by 1, which was rather disturbing to witness. This, was the only time my brain "noped" actually. Single sec and I'm on the edge, my legs hanging out of the plain, my brain is in indescribable condition, I hear behind me "Ready? Ok GO." And I go. I mean, fall. Feels like when airplane roughly goes down, your stomach goes up to your throat (I secretly like it)... multiplied by 100. You feel the resistance of air with your entire body, first 10 secs - fear of unfamiliar is overwhelming. But then, suddenly it's gone. Entirely! And you notice you have broad smile plastered on your face. Poof - parachute opens. And you don't fall anymore, you float, and everything is so breathtakingly beautiful... #japan #blog #story #instagram #follow #instatravel #instagood #япония #日本 #インスタ映え #tokyoskydivingclub #東京スカイダイビングクラブ (at 東京スカイダイビングクラブ "Tokyo skydiving club") https://www.instagram.com/p/B34OVWMHynx/?igshid=15omntl5u1g9w
