One's first step must have excitement. A man is bound to walk on a carpet of a force that he cannot control. When others could not even begin to step on it, seeing it as a thorny path, I felt inclined to start the first step seeing it as a soft carpet. I didn't even think of the fatigue, inconvenience or pain that would surge in after a while.The idea that the romantic fantasy of travel would soon be broken did not exert any force on me when I took my first step.

In the fields, the strong wind does not stop, the sea is always full of waves, and at the depth of my heart, my desire for the unknown world is rolling endlessly. We can't know where to go just as e we don't know where we're coming from. Our life may be a journey without a destination. Now there is no unknown world on the earth. However, there is a way for others not to dare to go. If at all costs and pain you rush into a path that others do not try to do, thinking it is impossible , it is a challenge and an expedition. I am now going to set out the way of an adventurer or explorer.

I learned paragliding at the time I was fifty. The feeling of flying on paraglider in the sky was thrilling. Perhaps it may be at that time when I start to be such a fearless adventurer. Anyone may dream of flying in the wind once but all cannot jump off the mountain. Paragliding requires wind and it should be the wind blowing toward the mountains, but it was not easy to meet such weather in New York. So the cliff in San Diego, where constant winds blow inland from the sea all year round, is the best place for those who enjoy paragliding. I was flying in the sky in the wind from the sand cliffs of San Diego, seeing nude beachheads down, enjoying the spectacular view of the wealthy villas, and ended up with a dizzying accident that my paraglider got tangled with the lonely growing pine trees on the cliff. I was calmly hanging from a tree on a sand cliff until the rescue team arrived. There were helicopters in the sky, dozens of fire trucks and police cars, and newspaper reporters and television reporters gathered.

As the plane took off from Kennedy Airport, I can see downtown New York at a glance. Looking down from the sky, New York comes with a very different feeling. Perhaps to be sure of one's true self, one has to rise far higher than the reality that he's standing on now, or go deep into the remote area. If we stand on top of a surreal reality that makes us feel a little unrealistic, we will see something clearly. The journey I'm trying to make is surreal at this point.

Just as the Indians hold an adult ceremony persevering the pain of tearing flesh, I don't even know if I'm having this kind of adult ceremony of my second life to be me. This trip is an adult ceremony of my new life and a journey to explore unidentified life of me who don¡¯t know who I am yet. The trip will be the most modern one, with a hunch that SNS will likely help a lot. It is also ironic that a person like me mostly with analog thoughts and little with digital knowledge in the digital age is seeking the help of the digital mechanism whenever something big happens. As some people who know it know it, I married a woman who was downloaded from a computer. I couldn't escape being a bachelor until I was 50 because I wasn't good at dating in an analog way, but I met the best woman I could meet on the Internet. So is the fact that I¡¯ve been living for more than 10 years by doing business through the Internet sales network.

People who knew only through Facebook in Los Angeles must have shared the news that Kang MyungKu would cross the continent. Choi Sung-kwon is the one who used to run with me in New York. We ran together and had dinner together a few times, but we didn't get along very well here, so I heard from others that he had moved to LA a long time later. He was such a forgotten friend, but when he heard the familiar name Kang MyungKu, he was glad to hear it and contacted me right away. He informed me that he would take care of everything of my LA schedule from picking up at the airport. It's a good sign from the beginning. An unexpected noble man appeared. I sent the stroller to his house first.

When I arrived in L.A., a hot energy choked my nose. We met at the airport after a long time and expressed our greatest pleasure. In fact, I had to show my gratitude rather than pleasure. Persons who are as blunt as I do sometimes have to do more than they need depending on the situation. But I don't even know if I've expressed my feelings as much as I need today. That's how much this trip means to me. The schedule in LA will run in a flash and I got momentum to my departure.
