Hello Vlasta님

블라스타(?) 님 안녕하세요?

I think cliffs of Korean Mountain will be enough high and steep.

But I can't say surely. sorry.

Wow you already did paragliding!!

If you check that web site linked, you can find some info.

(But it's Korean only.)

If I get more info, I will let you know.

Have a good evening.:mrgreen:

Hello Julia,

Thank you for response and for the links. Actually, paragliding was the first "flying activity" I did, but the original reason for starting skydiving was to gradually become a wingsuit base jumper. Wingsuit base jumping has got similar goal as paragliding (gliding) but completely different execution. If there are a lot of places with high steep cliffs in Korea, then it's the perfect place for fulfilling my dream (:

Hello!! Vlasta님

I'm Julia. Nice to meet you. 만나서 반가워요!!:mrgreen:

You have gotten interest in thrilling sport!! Actually I love that kind of sport, too.

But Skydiving is not that famous. Maybe it's because of geographical features.

Anyway, I just got one website for skydiving, http://www.kpa.or.kr/

(Unfortunately you cannot jump off Building 63..^^;;;)

:lol:Surprise!! I brought other interesting sport "Paragliding" for you.

, which will be enough thrilling, I believe.

Paragliding in Korea will be fun due to many mountains.:wink:

Lastly, please keep an eye on KC101.

감사합니다.

Hello there,

Since this is my very first comment here at koreanclass101 I'd like to say hi to all the people behind this project, all the users, and also thanks for this amazing opportunity to learn my favorite language.

Oh yeah, an introduction... My name is Vlasta Pochop. I was born, raised and still living in Czech Republic and I'd like to change it. So I started learning Korean (; I still got a long way ahead of me but the important thing is that I really enjoy learning Korean with you guys (:

I didn't really listen to this audio blog (yet) as I wouldn't understand much of it anyway, but the headline caught my attention and made me think... Does anyone know about skydiving in Korea? I started participating in this thrilling sport not so long ago and it obviously made me addicted. So here come a few questions for skydiving fans living in Korea:

Is skydiving popular in Korea? Are there many landing zones near Seoul or other big cities? Are plane tickets cheaper or more expensive than elsewhere (it usually ranges from 20$ to 25$ per flight). Would instructors acknowledge my parachutist certificate from the aero club that is a member of FAI - The World Air Sports Federation (ok, not that I expect anyone to know this, but hey... d: )? Is base jumping legally possible in Korea? Would the police let me jump off Building 63 for instance?

Note to Se Hwa Yoon

Keep on skydiving. Tandem jump is just the beginning and though I actually never went through a tandem jump (I started jumping on my own from the beginning) I think I'm safe to say the experience will only get even better. Moments like falling with sunset that is laying red beams on a thick featherbed-like layer of clouds, meeting your first full rainbow, doing relative work with your friends (jumping in formations, haven't gotten there yet but can't wait for it) and ultimately - mastering free fall and getting some crazy freestyle moves filmed; these are the moments that pay off, that makes skydiving so utterly cool (:

Oops this got long

Can't wait to do some relative work with Koreans (:

Goodbye and blue skies

:razz:

please feel free to leave any comment here~~

cheers,

KClass101님! 맞게 고져 주셨습니다. 제가 하고 싶었던 말을 더 자연스러운 말로 잘 옮기셨어요. 고맙습니다! ^^

나영훈님

덕분에 또한번 크게 웃습니다

항상 저를 즐겁게 해주시고 더욱더 힘나게 해주시는군요.

아리조나에서 찍은 사진이 있으시면 올려주세요.

한번도 가본적이 없네요, 날씨가 참 좋은곳이라고 들었는데요.

더욱더 열심히 하겠습니다.

감사합니다. 꾸벅

우아 -- "고소공포증" 말을 배웠네요! 저는 영어로도 acrophobia 라는 단어를 잘 모르는 사람이에요.

"제중원" 드라마는 세브란스 병원의 역사 대해 재미있게 보여 주는 걸 아시지요? ~애 제 정신 좀 봐.. 공자 앞에서 문자을 쓰고 있군요.

겁 하나도 없으실 것 같았는데, 의외로 고소공포증이 있으시군요... :oops::oops:

"제중원"이라는 드라마가 있나요? 저도 한번 봐야 겠네요.

재미있을 것 같아요. *^^*:mrgreen:
