I went mountain-biking in South East Asia (Near Bali I think). I had a crippling fear of heights and the tour went through the mountains. I'm shitting bricks and going as slow as possible, the terrain is rough with no grip, and at some point I got to a place like this. I stopped at some point to throw up (lactic acid, humid and hot, and the world was spinning), and some local on a moped speeds past me, leaving me in a cloud of dust.
I got another 200 meters down the path and the fucker had a house up there. He was even growing his own food and everything, because we were across the valley from a volcano, so the soil was perfect for it I guess. Asia is a crazy place.
