They say that you will get to know a person better if you travel together. I so believe in that. From experience, traveling with my friends, indeed, (and I’m pretty sure they will agree with me) has given me more insight in their lives and their characters. And you create a special bond with them- even with just one trip.

Recently, I have been in short trip abroad - with my immediate family (although my sister and a friend came with us). It’s not totally disastrous but there had been pits in the trip- these I cannot elaborate more but suffice to say that it’s been a learning experience for me. It’s been an insightful trip- not so much with the place we’ve visited but with our characters.

There were things that caught me by surprise -as I hadn’t expected to see a different side of someone I thought I knew from head to toe. One impulsive action, few spoken words. Somehow, these gave me a totally unexpected view of one’s personality. I was reeling with the discovery -and it was all too much to take all at once. Shocking wouldn’t be an overstatement.

Even as I write this, I am still trying to steady myself. Still trying to take things in -slowly. Too scared to discover more. It’s been an emotionally draining discovery -one that could create so much possibilities. Scared as I am, I am still trying to put everything on an even keel.

Maybe in the future I will laugh- or maybe cry in remebrance- of what had happened while in Hongkong. But I hope the experience will make us all better persons.
