Life-risking Walk

Have you ever wished that you were as light as a new-born baby?
Nope!
But would you think of that while you are walking on the ice?

Growing up in a tropical country, I have never had experience: walking on the ice (on the icy surface of a lake). This afternoon, I was actually doing it in Minnehaha Fish & Wildlife Area, Indiana.

Yoshiki and I was intentionally going fishing this afternoon since the temperature reached 6℃. We thought it might be warm enough for bass to start feeding. Well, soon after we got there, we found the surface of the lake was still frozen. Furthermore, as Yoshiki and I stepped on the ice, we found the ice was thick enough for us to stand on it.

Wooooooooow…what about ice fishing?! It would be a lot of fun.
So we started to dig a hold in the ice till a guy came and told us how freaking dangerous it could be.

"I wouldn't do it if I were you. It's pretty deep out there and anything could happen."
(I was actually thinking about Dr. Barratt's optimism at that time: How bad can it be!? Relaxed…nothing will go worst.)


Anyway, we took the advice and left before we might get ourselves killed. Hahahahahaha…what would be the headline on tomorrow's paper if we got killed there?
" Two Asians got killed by digging holes on the ice" --- Suicidal possibility has been ruled out since their smile was frozen as the police got the bodies.


It was an unique experience for me. ^_^
