That looks incredible man! I could tell that other lady was terrified hahaha the look on her face in a bunch of those photos was hilarious!
Glad you and Hannah had fun! That is definitely on my bucket list of things to do! You both look like you were having a blast which is awesome. The rain was coming down pretty damn hard at times! Did you leave your phones back at the camp or did they give you a waterproof box to put them in?
That Bangladeshi girl was so nervous and it made her extremely hyper. Funny how everyone deals with fear in a different way. She was a character and I loved the playful energy she brought to our group. Constantly cracking jokes in both English and Bengali.
Out of all the cool things I've been able to do in life, whitewater rafting is right up there at the top of my list. I'd say make it a mission to experience something like this when you can.
Great question about the phones. We left ours locked in our car. They locked everyone's car keys up before we left. Somehow a few people still decided to bring their phones with them out on the river. I was shocked. I mean I guess they didn't want to pay extra for the professional photos/videos, which I understand. I just can't fathom trying to bring a thousand-dollar device out on a raging river just for some selfies. Legit, one girl had her phone out THE ENTIRE TIME and every time we saw their raft, she was filming with her front-facing camera. It made me cringe so hard watching her take away from her experience and she was never helping paddle. This probably won't surprise you, but she was totally one of the people that was rocketed out of the raft. While in the rapids, she was struggling to swim back because she only had one hand available. You guessed it, she had her phone in her other hand and didn't want to submerge it in the water. I know her guide had to be pissed, but it's his fault for not telling her to put the damn thing away. Lucky for her, the water calmed down and the were able to get her back in.
Okay, I'm done venting about her addiction to her smartphone. You got me started though bro.
