I still remember, growing up, I always have this little wish that one day I would make myself climb the Great Wall of China.
And I did
And I am sooooo proud that I've been to one of the 7 wonders!
the climb was incredibly exhausting. well, what to be expect. I never exercise. so my stamina is a little bit not that good.
Stamina is one thing, but the steps(the stairs?), they are not at the same height! sometimes one steps is so much steeper than the other.
And going down is much harder than going up. my reason? your legs were already shaky after the strenuous workout of climbing up the wall. but when you're going down, you sort of have to make sure that your foot are plant securely on top of the stairs and pray that your legs wont give up. honestly, I never knew that climbing down stairs is as much a workout for legs as it was climbing up. gile berotot aku kalo setiap hari turun naik tangga great wall tuh.
but I've got one trick that I learned while struggling making my way back to the real land. you have to jog down the stairs. seriously. It's much easier rather than doing it slowly. take my word. going down step by step slowly is not the good way(and I actually consider it dangerous).go fast ! dont worry,you'll be safe....as long as you dont take your hand off of the railing.
It was fun!!
below are pictures of my sis taking her own sweet time going down. She's crawling in case you din notice. ^^
