I am a 23-year-old gay man. I study an undergarduate course in Australia. Now I am taking a study break until Feb 2009.I am at Hong Kong, my home town now.Yesterday I took a kayak exam in the sea.During exam,no one allowed to wear glasses.When it’s my turn,I asked my classmate if he can take care of my glasses for a while.He said no problem.After exam,my classmate says he had dropped my glasses into the sea.I said I requested for a compensation.My classmate said he wouldn’t comensate for the glasses.The coach said,"If I drop your glasses into the sea, I wouldn’t compensate for yours as well. So is your classmate.Since your classmate doesn’t lose your glasses on purpose, he’s not responsible for that." The coach said,"If I lose all the 8 classmates belongings, does it mean I need to make compensation to all of you?If yes,I don’t need to work as a coach!" Then I said it’s unreasonable. I quarrel with the coach and the classmate until the class ended. I keep on demanding the compensation. Back home, I talked about what happened with my family.
Today, it’s my another kayak exam. I went to there as usual. As I reach the watersports centre,I found my dad unexpectedly.He said he had secretly followed me to the watersports centre.As soon as he saw to coach,he came up to her and chatted.I said" Dad,I am the victim, not you. Can you please let me bargain with the coach and classmate? I am 23 already."My dad refused and shouted at me" Go away,son.Get out of my sight until I finished talking with your classmate and coach.It’s not your business".He roared and everyone was looking at me and dad.My coach said" Keep away from me and your dad.We need a private chat." I said," Why can’t I listen about the bargain of compensation?I am the victim of the accident ?"Then asked me to shut up together.After 30 mins, my dad came up to me and said"We’ve made an agreement to compensate half of the eye-glasses price ($HK 400) to you.We’ve signed all the documents."
Back home, my mom critisized me for not cooperating and obeying with my dad.She said " Let dad do what he wants.He is your dad even though you are 23 already. You are so stupid that you make your dad angry."
How do you think of my dad and my coach? Bullying?
How do you think of my Chinese parents? Also the female kayak coach?
Am I normal to feel sad because of that?

Here is the story that I wanted to have re-written in conversational French, as it would be described by a French resident with their forms of speaking and idioms and phrases used, versus a word for word translation which is what I think I already have from a program used.
Last summer, I took a trip out to Kaua’i, HI, where my parents live to visit them and see remaining old friends from when I used to live there a few years earlier. I was interested in being more active this time out there and didn’t want to be inside the house as often as I had been before in the past. So, I left my laptop here in Virginia, packed more realistically for what I wanted to do, such as mountain biking, kayaking, a re-venture of surfing, any hiking that might be possible to get others to come along for, and hopefully a day of paintball. The biking is what I did on the days when nothing else could be planned to do. The first time was an invite from a friend from my old church who asked me if I’d want to hit some trails with him the next town over. So I agreed, happy at the idea to have a challenging trip out with someone else, and saw new spots of my former island that I’d never seen before, which was really cool because I like seeing new places, especially of what I thought I already knew.
I went out biking another day on my own and revisited the same tracks and had a great workout while soaking in what ended up being too much sun. At the end of that ride, I walked the bike through the sand of a popular beach that was on the way back and washed the sweat off me and swam around briefly in the surf. I had had ideas of getting in one of my parents’ kayaks and going on a solo tour around part of the coast, but that never happened and mostly for the reason that I’m not at the same par to paddle the sensitive-to-rolling kayaks that they’ve always owned in open ocean as I once was, as I was raised doing with them on rivers back when we all lived in Virginia. I also never got to do any paintballing, but I had done that the last trip when I was there for my birthday and still had good memories from that to suffice until my next visit.
What I did get invited out to join, that was already being planned, which I had had no prior knowledge of until friends of parents informed them of and asked if I’d want to join in, was a 4 day camping trip at this secluded beach and ground that one has to hike 12 miles in to get to, with everything they plan on bringing to eat, drink and sleep with hiked in. I had always heard wonderful things about the beauty of the valley they were planning on staying at, called Kalalau, and had wanted to go and so agreed. It was a very difficult hike and I was one of the slowest of the group, who most mostly comprised of youth younger than me who could navigate the steep and narrow trails (if some of what we were walking on could even be called that) with ease and enthusiasm. I had a great time out and had some important times by myself while I was out there, reflecting on the beauty of the nature and the mountains just behind us, with the dark clouds of another mountain sprinkle at the ready to activate perpetually hovering halfway down them, and the vast ocean to our front which was always there ready to greet your thoughts and stand as company in agreement to your conclusion of the moment. It was a good time out overall for me, but not because of happy circumstances that I had while out there, but because it further reaffirmed to me that where I’m at now is my element and where to continue on from, and that as beautiful as the island is, it is not my home and I am not its kind of person, of whose priorities and views are a part of their identity and mine, which would clash, would not make any sort of a peaceable living there possible- which is the importance of finding where you fit.
—– And my acquired verbatim translation that I fear is not entirely how it would be expressed from one France resident to another.. —–
L’été dernier, j’ai pris un tour au Kaua’i, HI, où mes parents vivent à leur rendre visite et voir encore de vieux amis de quand j’avais l’habitude d’y vivre quelques années plus tôt.
Je me suis intéressé à être plus actifs de ce temps là-bas et je ne voulais pas être à l’intérieur de la maison aussi souvent que je l’étais avant dans le passé. Alors, j’ai laissé mon portable ici, en Virginie, emballées de façon plus réaliste de ce que je voulais faire, comme le VTT, le kayak, une ré-venture de surf, de randonnée pédestre qui tout pourrait être possible d’amener les autres à venir le long de, et, espérons - une journée de paintball. Le cyclisme est ce que j’ai fait les jours où rien ne pouvait être planifié de faire. La première fois, c’était une invitation d’un ami de mon ancienne église qui m’a demandé si j’avais veulent frapper quelques pistes avec lui la ville d’à côté. Alors j’ai accepté, heureux à l’idée d’avoir un voyage difficile avec quelqu’un d’au

I am in the process of losing 100 pounds. As a reward at 50 pounds lost I am going to buy a fishing Kayak. I’ll still be a big guy at -50 lbs so I am sold on the Wilderness System Kayaks. Only question is the Ride 135 or Tarpon better. They are about the same price (expensive) but I only want to make this purchase once. Which is better and what’s the difference between the two?

My gf and I will be in San Diego and wondering what else to do there. I think we have one more free day and not sure what to do with it. We have been to Disneyland and Seaworld before and spending the week prior to this in LA. Below I wrote out our plan of events, if something doesn’t sound right it is my poor planning so let me know what should change.
Here is what the plan is so far:
Day 1: Zoo
Day 2: kayak La jolla caves, rent bikes and ride to La Jolla Cove and also Mission Beach. (Mission Beach: 5 mile ride)
Day 3: Balboa park
Day 4: Tour Old Town, drive over to Coronado ferry and park (parking issue in this part of SD?). Take ferry to rent bikes on Coronado Beach (not sure where else to go on Coronado Island).
Day 5 ?

You will need to expand this text ( click MORE INFO above) to understand what is being demonstrated here. This method is for medium size (general purpose) boats, not sea kayaks. The swimmer goes to their COCKPIT and lifts one edge 10-20 degrees until some air can get in. This is sometimes called ‘breaking the seal’. This makes it MUCH EASIER for the rescuer to lift the nose out of the water. This can be hard, especially for ladies, with some kayaks. The rescuer has approached from the right direction to allow the swimmer to transfer to the nose of the resuers kayak quickly once the nose is lifted (ie without having to swim round the back of the flooded kayak). This requires some thinking ahead when approaching the person in the water. Always lift the NOSE, not the stern, then the airbags which you should have in the stern end are doing a lifting job for you for free and the kayak is part emptied already. You can identify the nose by the screws retaining the footrest in almost all kayaks. Before sliding the swamped kayak over his own the rescuer gets two hands on the cockpit of the flooded boat, then tilts / tips it away slightly. This ensures plastic will slide across plastic, then he heaves it across and drops it flat again. Tilt,slide,drop. It is much more effort if it crosses your spraydeck, and it damages spraydecks, hence the TILT. It drains better if flat, hence the DROP. Repeat until as empty as poss, depending on time available. With neoprene spraydecks especially …

In these video released by the Coast Guard, a Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and crew assist good Samaritans aboard the fishing vessel Vigilant to rescue two Israeli kayakers near Gore Point southeast of Homer Thursday, July 30, 2009. (US Coast Guard imagery/Petty Officer 1st Class Sara Francis) The Coast Guard coordinated the rescue of two Israeli kayakers using the assistance of good Samaritans aboard the fishing vessel Vigilant four miles southwest of Gore Point Thursday after severe weather prohibited the men from paddling to shore. The kayakers had been kayaking for eight days around the Kenai Peninsula when winds increased to more than 35 mph and seven foot seas. The Coast Guard Rescue Coordination Center in Juneau received initial notification at 3:30 pm via satellite phone from a good Samaritan who received a VHF call from the kayakers stating they were in distress. At the same time the Israeli men turned on thier emergency position indicating radio beacon which assisted the Coast Guard in locating their exact position. The coast gurd helicopter arrived on scene and the kayakers were located, the rescue swimmer was lowered to the men to confirm their condition. Even though the kayakers refused Coast Guard assistance not wanting to leave their kayaks behind, the good Samaritans brought the men and their kayaks aboard the 58-foot fishing vessel Vigilant at approximately 5:30 pm with the help of the Coast Guard rescue swimmer. The Vigilant crew headed to Point …

Having used Old towns cannoes, i trust that company, am i right on this assumption. Also i am not shure what type of paddle i want to get. I wont be doing any hardcore rapids, just lake like conditions to mild rapids. also what type of life vest would be most appropriete. Im not looking to spend a bunch of cash on the paddle or vest. Of course i want a good vest, but not a reel fancy one, just one that will let me float. I think those are all my questions, ill add more if i think of them…
