Ten Things Meme

I'll credit this one to [livejournal.com profile] narwhale, because even though she wasn't the first, she was the one who tipped the scales.

Ten things that I have done that people on my friends list probably have not.

1. Bungie-jumped in Thailand.
2. Canoed down the Shimanto River.
3. Climbed Mt. Fuji.
4. Chased away gypsies in Florence.
5. Hiked fifty miles, half of them with coral poisoning.
6. Mock-fought the entire student body of Xiamen University at midnight on New Year's Eve.
7. Rescued a man from an overturned truck that had kerosene tanks in the back.
8. Led sixty people in the Hokey Pokey.
9. Built eleven fully operational and online computer labs at eleven Recreation Centers throughout Oakland.
10. Entered a holy mountain shrine through the Torii gateway and neglected to exit the same way.

Coral

You use vinegar to kill the coral. I used to have to do this quite a bit in Guam while either swimming or snorkeling or diving. It HURTS when you pour it on because it's the coral in its death throes, but it's FAR better than the coral continuing to live and grow inside your body....
