*** Hoi, Vietnam, second day of the route. We lose another 4 participants.
When I walked I did not know where to go: to the left or to the right.
Big Game -- is a unique motivational program. 60 participants pass difficult and unusual
tests in different countries all over the World. The Winner is a person who passed a
test till the end.
Russia, Moscow, November 2012. One week before departure.
I like to travel. It does not matter where I go: to the excursion in a neighboring city
or to the unknown country for me.
I know for sure that there will be new people, new acquaintances, it will be funny and cool.
Bright colors, different language and cuisine. I will tell about it to my friends after return
back home.
I have all that I need: car, home, good job in a big company. But sometimes it is necessary
to change a situation and try something new. And I am sure that I'll like it!
Saigon, Vietnam, the beginning of the test. Participants are relaxed and do not know what
will be next.
I didn't ever shoot. It's so cool!
Very unexpected feeling. I would like to repeat it.
*** Hoi. Vietnam. First day of mountain bike tour.
Participants pass the first part of the route with easily, without tension.
I ride bike more that 10km. F**k, I have so terrible pain in my knee. I'm so tired.
It's very hot, I can't bear it more. It's terrible. I want to drink and eat something.
I didn't imagine such terrible things. It's hard to breath. When will they stop at least
for 5 minutes to have a rest?
Where is the end of this road? I want to lay down and to not stand up.
One more ascent. Now I will die for sure!
We lost 7 participants during first 46kn of the distance. Someone among other participants
want to refuse to continue.
Second day of the route. We lose another 4 participants. The route is 1,5 times longer
and 2 times more difficult.
We are so small for this World. You do not think about it in the office, you do not have
a time for this. But we are "Kings" of nature in this vanity of big World. Always
ahead on a step. Here, there is another World. All that you have in your daily life matter
nothing here. It's hard because of this thoughts, but it is true.
Mobile phones, smart phones, computers, you do not need it here. Here it is more important
to find word for your friends, to know how to pump a tire, or to cook on fire.
*** Hoi. Vietnam. Jungles. Poisonous bushes, dirt and sharp stones.
Despite of fatigue I understood that it is good to be in situation when you do not need
to use all things that you know. And you need to find energy to move forward and be yourself.
*** Hoi. Vietnam. Teams are not ready to lose someone else. They continue the route.
I understood unexpectedly that we were changing, we became a team instead of crowd. We breathe
and live a common life, we solve problems and celebrate victories. I have a feeling
that we know each other several years, but not just 2 days. I understand that I can not
show weakness and deceive my friends.
If someone told me last Friday: "Man you will pass through the cave with only one head
torch in absolute darkness", I would laugh.
It's dark and dangerous here, but there are my colleagues above me who will be happy
by my victory. Of course we are not friends yes and maybe we will not be friends in future,
but I will remember for the rest of my life how I should support people who want to do
something in their life and win something.
The third Mission ended. It was the most difficult Mission because of weather and physical conditions,
risk of injury. Only 53 participants passed Mission up to the end.
We have a lot of unnecessary things around us. We surround ourselves by these things,
because it's easy.
Sometimes it's prevents to grow up, to develop ourselves, to interact with other people.
We have seldom a chance to get out of usual life, see the world in different colors. This
life belongs to us only.
If you risk once you understand that your life begins. But it depends only on you for
how long the life will last.
