Sushi

[Nader]

Yup, I'm the second to youngest. I am indeed closer to my older sister, its probably because we can talk about serious things together.

I was adventerous enough to try sushi in the first place (I don't usually like seafood). Also, there were only two of those orange egg things, I would have tried one if they weren't both eaten.

[Teahouse Keeper]

Hahaha!!! I see So you were already being adventurous by trying sushi. What made you adventurous this time?

Well, although sushi is mostly seafood, there is corn (with mayonnaise), egg piece, cucumber or pickle. Not sure if those were available when you were there. Yeah, I am not a seafood fan either. But...why do you not like seafood?

Hahahaha!!! Your friend....didn't leave any of those orange egg things for you eh. He should have shared one with you. Hahahaha....I wonder what they taste like. The Japanese seem to love them and eat them with rice. But....I have never been able to get myself to buy one to try.

I've really been pushing the limit with things, for example i'm scared of heights, but I've went on roller coasters that I wouldn't touch a year ago. I've changed I guess, which I sorta am impressed at myself for.

[Teahouse Keeper]

Wow. That is not possible! How can you go on roller coasters when you are afraid of heights??

Why are you pushing the limit?

I am amazed How did you feel about the coaster ride? How many times did you ride it?

Well....I hope you are not changing the good bits, or taking up things that would change the good bits.

I won't ride the coaster even if you paid me .... a million bucks!!! I ain't going into that thing!! NOoo way! I ain't!!

I found out I like the feeling...but after going on once or twice, the fear is gone, so the ride isn't as thrilling.

I road the raging bull once, the superman and batman about three times, the iron wolf once, and the viper, demon, american eagle, and whizzer countless times.

*seeing the photos* Mmm....I don't think you ever had the fear of heights, Nader. What you felt before was most likely hesitation and anxiety, but not truly a fear of heights which is not so easily overcome.

As you mentioned, that "fear" was gone after riding once or twice and it wasn't as thrilling anymore. It means that the fear was actually not fear of heights, but is the "fear" of the thrill....the thrill factor that you were feeling. It quickens the pulse and makes a person feel afraid, but it is not the same as fear of heights. If you really feared heights, you would not feel thrilled when riding the coaster. You would feel genuine fear and it wouldn't be fun. You would be wanting the ride to end immediately so you can get off.

Maybe it isn't a great fear then, because I'm sometimes uneasy when I'm on a high floor in a building. All I know is that I have definatly become more confident.
