    I am thankful for these individuals that has crossed my paths during my stay. Each has their own character and way of life. Even though our meetup might be short, our friendship will stay beyond the airwaves. 

Through this trip, I have takeaways:

Firstly, 

The importance of teamwork. Without the efforts of other people, this trip would not have been so colourful and meaningful.

Secondly, 

When communication breaks down, we should make every effort to reconcile and let not the breakdown affect our relationships.

Thirdly, 

Proverbs 16: 9 says " The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."

I commit all my future plans into the Lord's hands.
