Overall this trip has been quite satisfying to me. Majority of my targets were met, I found many items which I have been searching for for a long time. I took note of some things which I was not able to get and await the day I return to fulfill it.
I learnt that it is probably best not to travel in such a big group. More people means more difference in opinions. It is hard to satisfy all parties. Everyone have their own thinking. I am in no position to criticize theirs and neither do they have any to question mine.
I find that it is extremely important to have good communications. Just because I have my own plans does not mean I am not open to other plans. As before the trip, I mentioned to add in places which everyone thinks they want to go. It is entirely possible to fit into the plan. The plan that we created isn't a definite plan either, we can always change to alternatives. However, just because we have a plan and you don't tell us where your plan leads, I think that it is very irresponsible. If you don't want me to follow, just say, not leave me in the dark until the days end.
Going on this trip has shown me how many will react. I have gained knowledge in handling situations that are previously not experienced, such as losing our way and reacting to the problem in a calm and productive manner. It does not matter how many times we lose our way, it is how we face it and deal with it that truly matters.
Trust is of great importance. I went to enjoy with my friends, but if at the end of the day everyone splits, this trip becomes meaningless. To me, I rather be with my friends then to hit all my targets. However, it is not always the case. The group was still split and there is no way for me to have the group back together.
This is a trip that had uncovered many truths. Truths which I must face; Truths which I will accept; Truths which will not break me.
