Bungee jumping

Hello everyone

Today I will to introduce you Bungee jumping.They were formed on the island of Pen-tacos, the inhabitants of this island were jumping with a rope tied to the cubes of bamboo buildings to prove their masculinity.

Bungee jumping consists of jumping from a height on a flexible rope made of rubber fibers, usually attached to the ankles with special handles.

The current record was established by the Moscow SINNER group.The jump was made of a rope with a length of 230m, which they attached directly to the body. 

The highest object for bungee jumping is in China in the Macau Tower, which is 233m high.

For a bit less daring I suggest one of the bungee jumping types, so bungee-run, which consists in the strongest stretching of the elastic rope.

Everything takes place in an inflatable corridor and a protective helmet, which ensures safe ending of the game.

You can jump on a bungee in  several people.There are 3 types of rope length. Its length depends on the weight of the man. the thin keeps from 40 to 65 kg, average from 65 to 90 kg, and fat from 90 to 120 kg.

Slack-Line

Hello Everyone

Today I will tell you about the slack-line.This sports discipline consists in walking and working various acrobatic tricks on lines between 2.5 cm and 5 cm wide between two points at a height of 1 m and above the ground. 

Slack-line was born in California. It all started with walking on chains surrounding parking lots and climbing ropes, then everything started to develop and more specialized ropes started to appear, as a result of which the rope was change for a flexible tape.

Slack-line divided into three different variant :

-Trick-line-is one of the most popular varieties because it does not require specialized equipment. The rope can be hung quite low and the tricks made for it look impressive and spectacular.

-Long-line -It is a transition on a loose tape suspended 1m above the ground. The longer the tape is, the harder go through it. The current Polish record established  by Rafał Kubiak is 410m.

This story is about love in the Christmas time but not only love. Famile is important here too and you can see how other people can live. It's funny and touching story. The plot is based on the film 'Actually love' from 2003 but it is not similar at all.

In my opinion it should be movie number one on your list "must see". I recommend this film.

Thanks for reading. :)

Look for travel

You always want to look great and trendy. But sometimes you need a comfort. And yes, it’s possible to look fashionable and feel comfortable. It’s very easy. You don’t have to look like  Victoria’s Secret’s model. Believe me or not, pink bathrobe isn’t a good idea.

At first: comfort is more important. Remember: 70% comfort, 30% trends. Next 6h in plane, train or even car are going  to be tiring. But it doesn’t mean that you have to wear tracksuit. 

1. Favourite jeans. Not this super skinny. Maybe mom jeans? You should think about cotton pants, too.

2. Converse or something. Forget about high-heels. Comfortable shoes- first step to comfortable travel. Train, car, plane – way of the trip doesn’t change anything.

3. T-shirt, sweatshirt or jumper and jacket. If you feel cold – you can wear sweatshirt, when you are outside – you can wear jacket! It’s brilliant!

Ok, ok but I told you about clothes. You know about comfort. What about another 30%? Fashion in travel is the same fashion from streets of Paris, Warsaw or NYC.

What to wear on Christmas Day?

As every year you want to look really great. But the question is HOW TO DO IT? You don't need a very special outfit - but there are some reguls. At first - you have to forget abot ripped boyfriend jeans, t-shirts with hilarious writing and of course about sweatsuits. Other thing - really, really elegent outfit is rather a bad idea. So... what will be OK for Christmas Eve?

1. Dress

If you choose smart dress and add gold, gentle jewelry - you will look amazing and what's more important elegant. But when we talk about dress there are some rules, too:

-there is no chance for low neckline

-you don't have to shine like first star on sky, so choose something in dark colours or something... red

-remember about lenght - mini isn't elegant at all

-choose dark or black tights

2. Elegant pants

Choice for girls who like comfort. If you known that you'll spend all this time running with kids - you should think about pants. Any reguls?

-choose a shirt in a contrast colour, you aren't a businesswomen (at least no at this moment) you don't have to afraid of colours

-think about jacket, but in completely different colour than pants - don't create something like a suit - you will look boring

Of course it's just a really small part of things you can choose to look great. Propositions from this post are really simple and because of that - classic. Remember about acccessories. They can make your outfit more elegant. Stylization in 50% is dependent on scarfs, jewelry, colour of lipstick and of course - smile on your mouth.
