What is comes to an adventurous person? My friend Nam is the first one that springs to my mind. Nam and I go way back and we have been close friends for more than a decade. We first met in secondary school and immediately hit it off over our shared interest in music. Later on, he introduced me to another hobby of his. More accurately, a passion which is extreme sports. Nam is a true androgynous junkie who is always searching for thrilling new experiences and can’t bear him mundanity. That’s why he loves participating in extreme sports such as rock climbing or bungee jumping. Once, our group of friends went to Dalat and he was the only one daring enough to try kanyongning. I remember anxiously watching him climb up the kanyong with water splashing directly at him. While I felt scared and nervous just watching, he described it as the most exhilarating experience of his life. In my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes, Nam always wants to push himself to the limit and desires to outdo himself. His eyes light up whenever he talks about how these sports broaden his awareness and give him a great sense of freedom. Finally, enough. Nam has tried for the longest time to persuade me to join some of his activities, but I’m the absolute opposite of a risk taker. So I think I would just stay at the loyal spectator of his adventure rules.
