10 Most Incredible Things To do Before You Die


Breaking The Sound Barrier

Bored of everyday travelling at 140km/h? Why not give it a shot at this Thrust SSC which produces 40,000 pound of thrust, which means under 16 seconds, you'll be travelling at 1000km/h and in half a minute, you'll be rumbling at 1360km/h(Mach 1)!!! Mind-boggling! Imagine what will you be seeing at the speed of sound.



Sipping The World's Most Expensive Cognac


An elixir mixed since 1776 by the direct descendants of King Henri IV, each batch of Henri IV Dudognon Heritage is aged in a barrel for more than 100 years and capped inside a 24-karat gold-dipped and 6,500 diamond-bejeweled bottle. One most interesting question, what's the price? Well, a staggering US$2 million!



Holiday In The Carribean

A tiny little island in the Carribean, the St. Barth is a vacation destination for the millionaires. Its astounding white sands and sapphire blue waters plus lavish resorts in the island has also attracted A-listers such as Beyonce, Uma Thurman and Michael Kors. Arrival to the St. Barts would require your luxury private yacht or by your plane and you'll be unimaginably welcomed. In case you've got a last minute invitation for a dinner at a Microsoft mogul Paul Allen's private yacht, there's high-end haute couture boutiques such as Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior , Cavalli and Chanel along the main road of Rodeo Drive of the island. It would be a lifetime memorable vacation for anyone who ever holiday here. Awesome I would say.


Climbing The Great Pyramid Of Egypt

Following in the footsteps of King Khufu and travel back in time to 2720-2560 BC to marvel at the engineering masterpiece of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza. An estimated 2.6 million blocks weighing as much as 70 tons apiece were used in the construction of the Great Pyramid. Can you imagine the sense of achievement that it would be to climb to the top of the 482-foot Great Pyramid and panning the vast desert landscape? Climbing a masterpiece with the richest history in the world, why not?


Alpine Downhill Skiing

Whoosh to the right and swoosh to the left and lift-off over that slope. Tuck the arms in and bend the legs and speed over the cold, white snow at over 60 mph. Ok, maybe not that fast just starting out, but plenty of spills along the way while getting use to your ski legs. The great thing about skiing is that there is a bunny hill for the beginners and that there will always be that one guy who will blindly try the big hill, before he’s ready, and thats me! My all time favourite / dream sport!


Hang Gliding

Flying like a bird and soaring through the sky while skillfully navigating the unseen wind is one of the coolest places to be. Hang gliding is a sport that can cost an estimated $6000.00 in training to gain the required skills to fly as high as 10,000 feet, but there are places around the country that offer tandem flights for as little as $120.00. This is an adventure that will deliver the adrenaline at an affordable price. Woots...


Edge Of Space Supersonic Jet Ride

Ok, so you don’t have a spare $20 million to spend for a 7-day trip to the International Space Station. That’s fine, but you don’t have to give up. How about considering a trip to the edge of space in a British Jet Fighter called the Lightning? Just think about it for a minute. Imagine flying 60,000 feet high over the earth at a speed of 50 thousand feet per minute and seeing the curvature of the earth. Now, that would fill a barf bag up with a stomach full of excitement. WOW!!!


Dock With the ISS

Just imagine, staring out from the International Space Station and gazing at the awesome blue marble that we know as Earth and experiencing weightlessness would be a hoot, too. Well, you gotta spare a little extra change of about $20 million to book a trip to spend a week on board the International Space Station. I would if I've $500million of disposable cash.


Skydiving

Skydiving has the most incredible ride of a lifetime. Taking a leap of faith out of an cargo of an airplane at an approximately 30,000 ft above sea level and free falling for about 2 minutes requires humongous courage out of yourself!
Can you imagine the rush that skydiving is falling at more than 120+mph(200+km/h) straight towards the earth, knowing that there is a chance that this jump could possible be your last? There is a fact that skydiving is statistically safer than scuba diving, I'm not sure whether it's true or not, anyway I'm gonna really give it a go one day!
