1) What was the most rewarding experience of the week? (What left you feeling like you overcame an obstacle or made you a stronger person)?
I found kayaking the most rewarding experience as it was my first time doing it and I did a good job on keeping myself out of the water and playing around in the Li River. I also enjoyed abseiling because I overcame my fear of height and falling (even with the rope tied around me), and made it through safely, which I was very proud of.
2) What was the most difficult experience of the week? (What really pushed you to your limits)?
Mountain biking really pushed me to my limits, because I’m not much of a biker nor an athlete. The rocks and mud and the mud pools all together made up the tough ride that made me dirty (but it was still fun). But I was glad I made it through.
3) Imagine in 10 years from now, what will you remember about this week?
I would probably remember all the mud I had from biking and caving; it was the dirtiest moment of my life. But it was also the mud that made the trip unique and fun! I would also remember the beautiful scenery of Guilin/Yangshuo with its distinctive mountains of limestone.
