I almost got to do this, but not yet. There are a couple places to go paragliding here in Korea, and I think it’s pretty cheap (compared to the USA). I plan to research this and to go sometime this next year.
How to paraglide
How I did it: Contacted Saijia Aviation Park, taxied to a train station, got picked up, rode up a mountain in a doorless van, waited for the rain to stop and ran off a cliff.
Lessons & tips: CHECK THE WEATHER.

I finally got around to it and took a tandem introduction ride last summer! It was great! The flight company I went with was a little disorganized, and I ended up doing a lot of standing around waiting for them to get organized, which was a little bothersome, and the ride up to the Launch site was kind of weird, (20 people crammed into the back of an old truck!). But once we got to the launch site, my training pilot was great, explained everything very well, it was a great flight and he even let me steer for a bit.
Very fun, and I’d like to go again/more often, but the training and flying is a little time-consuming and weather dependent, and there’s just not enough time to do everything!
I will have a to travel a little for this one but it is something I have wanted to do for about twenty years but never put myself out – sometimes you gotta get of your arse I guess.
