Bungee Jump


For the one who is Bungee Jump lover I would like to say that Nepal has one of the largest Bungee jump location (Ultimate Bungy, Nepal) of 524.93 feet (160 meters) and is ranked in 5th position according to the location but it is the second highest Bungee Jump Center. The number one is Switzerland, the height is of 722 feet at 007 Bungy Jumping Center, Ticino.

Amazing Elephant Painter

I was just looking around some of the videos and saw this video. I think every one should have look to this video and get inspired what can be done and there is nothing impossible other than word impossible itself.

The video is about elephant who is a painter and paints itself a potrait of elephant carrying a flower. You won't believe unless you see it yourself.

Its great... and only word I was able to say looking at this video was : "Oh My God".

It worth to look at this movie...
