One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hard question - the more amazing things I experience the more normal past experiences seem (such is life I guess) Might seem silly but the most amazing thing I`ve done recently is overcome a panic attack - due to crappy rental equipment - while 20 meters under water (scuba diving). Being able to calm myself down and continue with the dive was pretty self-satisfying (especially b/c we got to see the Thresher sharks (Philippines) later in the dive) =-)
