Thanks for the journey.

Thx. Chanzl for opening the closing reflection.

There are many times I also do not know how to carry on but i guess the group's fun-ness helped! I dunno know if i can ever go thru this again. Or if any other batches or individuals can inspire me to do the same. The conceptualising, planning, monitoring, admin & vetting are really very very very painful. But the comraderie was what kept me sane and what kept you going.

I guess it's really the journey and not the destination. And I am not saying this just as a cliche. Like you go all the way from Sg through Bangkok to Ubon and into Pakse, only to find a tiny nondescript time-forgotten town with like one dusty road and a river and nothing to do. And you go all the way to across the Mekong river to Champassak to find a traffic circus but there is no junction. Then ask Wat (Phu) is there to see here? But it was the (trying) and getting there that is fun! Same for this NYAA journey.

Many times the jourmey was delayed, the ride was bumpy or there seemed no road, and the dusty track doesn't seem to end, and it's getting stifling in the bus and the heat is unforgiving, we still made it from Siem Reap to Poipet. And finally to Aranyapathet, where there is a 7-11 with lots of happy food and 3 piece crispy KFC at Hualumphong. Isn't it just like the NYAA journey?

Thanks for the journey. Look at the photos; you have gone from young boys to young men! Congrats!
