I have some what of a shark phobia, a small one as far as phobias go, but still a debilitating fear (I panicked when I went swimming with dolphins, cuz they vaguely resembled sharks… sad I know..) And so I figure that if I go and swim with some I’ll get over it, and not just start hyperventilating under water as people I know tell me I will…
The problem is there are no sharks close to Montreal (apparently there are some in the St Laurent but there really small – under a meter – and no one ever sees them). And so, last week I decided that it would be nice to go to South Africa to see swim with some real sharks… except the plane ticket’s price would be astonomical and I’m a student, (i.e. poor)...
But then I remembered that I’m going to Kenya in may (a trip my fathers work is paying for) and so, since it’s about as close to South Africa as I’m ever going to get, I should just take a few days, fly down to Cape Town, swim with some sharks, and come back to Nairobi. As stupid and unpractical as this plan sounds (In two days, I’d be spending about 1500$) I’m thinking it might work…
It could right??
