FEAR OF HIGH
Like i mention in my previous post i have the fear of high especially at higher place with open place . As i can remember if also know as Acrophobia . When i got up , i feel so sick and dizziness , feel wanna throw up and my feet will give up standing usually i end up just sit on the floor . I believe those who fear of high is know what i mean .
UP UP AND AWAY
During my travel journey in Vang Vienne , Laos , thank to the hot air balloon trip that make me conquering those fear . I have a few opportunity for enjoying the air view in several country before i come to LAOS . First is in Myanmar , they were offering a morning sunrise in Bagan , but it was really expensive which is out of my budget for those short trip on air . The second opportunity is lake sight also in Inyalake , Myanmar . It also quite expensive for me . . Don't get me wrong it , the trip is nice but since i just a traveler with tight budget so i skip on those both opportunity . :). The third opportunity is in hot air balloon festival in Chiang Rai , it quite cheap and affordable but the que is very long que .
The next opportunity in Vang Vienne is coming and i think it is very affordable . To be honest , i take 2 days to think if should or not take those opportunity because of my fear but at last i decide to take my courage to go for it.
LET'S THE ADVENTURE BEGIN
HOW I BOOK MY HOT AIR BALLOON TRIP [TIPS]
It was actually easy to joining or go at interesting place in any place you visit . First , we have huge information from internet . Second, there is always information from local especially at the local travel agent which is more cheaper that being offer from our own place / country . Third , ask the local what is their specialty , sometimes you ll find gems that even the traveler or some local didnt know (i found some) .
For this Air Balloon i was actually know this information from the travel agent but i ask the pretty homestay owner to help me to get the cheaper price and yes , i even get 20% off from the travel agent prices .
TRIP TO CONQUERING MY FEAR
My alarm was set as early as 4.30 in the morning because they ll fetch me at 5 am . Then they bring me to the departure place , i believe it was bus parking station but there is still no many bus park at that early morning. There was 3 balloon and they put me into the balloon with the biggest rattan basket . I mention it again , it was rattan basket and it feel so fragile . My fear star being triggers , it is go or not to go moment but after a lot of consideration i just go .
Dub , dub , dub .. You know what i mean and feel at that moment when the hot air balloon start flying up . Panic and i feel wanna throw up , i just close my eyes , then i try to breath slowly and calm myself . I start to feel the calm breeze and open my eyes . I cant believe that was the moment that i really can see around me without being afraid . Well , to be honest i still have that traits but i feel better than before .
I start taking picture , and this is some picture that i take from above . Those picture is like a winning reward to me over my fear .
ENCOURAGEMENT
I know it not easy to face and conquer the fear that you have , but i believe a little improvement and positive attitude to our fear will lead a huge wining over the time . Keep it slow, don't rush and make it happen :).

TAKUT DENGAN KETINGGIAN
Macam sia pernah post dulu bagitau sia takut dengan tinggi lagi lagi tempat tinggi yang kau tidak buli menyandar . Diaorang cakap ini takut kena pangil Acrophobia . Waktu di tempat tingi , mula la sia rasa sakit dgn pening , mau muntah pun ada sama kaki sia serender mau berdiri selalunya memang terduduk . Yang takut tinggi tu faham faham la tu.
.
TARABANG TERUS
Nasib sia bejalan sna Vang Vienne , Laos dlu , tersembuh juga penyakit takut tinggi sia dgn naik tu belon panas . Ada beberapa peluang sia naik belon di beberapa negara sebelum sia sampai di LAOS . Yg pertama , sana Myanmar . Diaorg offer naik belon waktu matahari terbit di Bagan , tapi adei mahal betul x ngam dengan budget sia ni sebab sia ni traveller badget sj. Yg kedua di sana Inyalake , Myanmar jalan jalan tgk tu tasik tp masih mahal lagi juga ni. Jangan silap a ,sebenarnya tu trip siok juga tp sia saja yang tidak cukup badget . Peluang ketiga sana festival balon panas di Chiang Rai , murah dan mampu tapi banyak betul orang
Lepas tu ada lagi peluang di Vang Vienne , sia fikir ok dengan mampu juga ni . Yang betul , 2 hari juga sia fikir mau naik atau pun tidak sebab bikin takut bah tu . Tp last last kasi semangat sjla utk naik.
PENGEMBARAAN PUN BERMULA
MACAM MANA SIA BOOK UNTUK NAIK TU BALON [TIPS]
Sebenarnya senang sj mau cari tempat menarik di tempat yang kita lawat . Pertama , banyak maklumat dari internet . Kedua , orang di sana boleh bagi banyak maklumat juga terutamanya agen perlancongan , kelebihan mencari cari agen berbanding dari tempat kita sebab harga servis sangat la murah . Ketiga , tanya urang tempatan . Kadang-kadang ada tempat yang menarik yg tidak dikunjungi oleh pelancongan dan kadang kadang bukan semua urang tempatan juga tau. (Saya pernah jumpa tempat seperti itu)
Untuk bellon udara ini , saya mendapat maklumat dari agen perlancongan tapi saya meminta bantuan pemilik bilik sewa yang cantik itu untuk booking dengan harga lebih murah, dan ya, dapat harga 20% lebih murah daripada agen perlancongan.
PERJALANAN UNTUK MENAKLUKI KETAKUTAN
Sia set bunyi alarm jam 4.30 pagi sebab ada yg ambil pada jam 5 pagi . Lepas bangun , mereka membawa sia ke tempat bertolak . macam station bas ni tapi mungkin sebab masih awal , tiada bas yang parking di sana. Ada 3 balon dan sia dpt balon yg raga dia paling besar . Diaorg guna raga rotan , astaga macam licak betul ni . Sia rasa takut betul ni , mau pg atau tidak ni aa. pg saja la .
Dub .. dub .. dub .. Kau pun tau macam mana perasaan sia masa tu waktu tu balon mau naik atas. Panik sama rasa mau muntah . Sia tutup mata sama cuba mau bernafas perlahan kasi tenang diri . Sia rasa tu angin dia macam selesa dan sia buka mata sia . Tidak tau macam mana masa tu sia boleh tgk sekitar dgn tidak ada perasaan takut ni. Terus terang tu perasaan masih ada , tpi sia rasa selesa berbanding sebelum nya.
Sia mula mengambil gambar , dan ini la tu gambar dari atas . Ni gambar macam pingat kemenangan bagi sia dgn tu takut tingi.
GALAKAN
Bukan senang mau hadapi tu ketakutan yang kita hadapi , tapi percayalah sikit demi sedikit kemajuan dengan semangat postif menghadapi ketakutan akan membawa kita kepada kemenangan suatu hari nanti. Pelan pelan sj , sebab suatu hari nanti semua tu pasti tercapai.
