We are mere interested in making acquaintance instead of forging "life long" friendships.

Met so many interesting characters during this trip. Oh gawd. I MISSED THIS FEELING!

There's Yuki. Her virgin solo trip. Not sure if she's a poshpacker or someone who is ultra bad at planning (to think that she's a financial planner lol)

- she did not know that she needs to check in 2hrs before flight. Missed her flight and she had to get a new ticket.

- her hostel closed when she arrived n the cab took her to another place

- which she didn't recognise the following day and had to seek help (her keycard has no address)

-she took a 3d2n tour which would somehow eat into her departure flight. 

-thankfully she managed to change to 2d1n and had to buy a connecting flight

Sounds like me right?

And then there's Mr Kim (I don't know his name but he's south korean n works for foreign affairs). He hired a guide but the guide does not know english nor korean and Mr Kim doesn't know chinese. So I act as their translator. Mr Kim's a cool guy; shook hands with Putin, saw Bush and several other presidents.

There's also Kevin. Canadian who speaks wicked chinese. He is majoring in chinese medicine in Canada and is here for exchange. Crazy fella who lug his backpack everywhere. EVERYWHERE! HIKING TOO! WTF. but I cheated his feelings. Both of us arrived at shangrila from same location. He didn't have a hostel so i intro-ed him mine... but it's full.. Sorry Kevin XS

Not to mention 2brats. Well not really brats but I'm just jealous of them. They did the same 3d2n trek as me but they were bouncing up and down at the check points. Heard from Kevin that the dad have been bringing them for treks since august. And they did ebc =_=
