Trip to Angkor Wat - 1

I took a 5 days trip to Angkor Wat last week. It was the first time I paid for my own trip; I was very excited about it.

There were 10 people in the group. Two sisters, a couple, two school teachers, two men who are co-workers and us, Josh and I.

The tour guide is very interesting and educating. He used to be a history teacher therefore he knows a lot of things about the sculpture and the story about Angkor Wat kingdom. I learned a lot and took a lot of note.

However, on the forth day, one of the two sisters started to talk about what the other group had but we didn't. In the beginning, I listened and shared my opinion about the tour and the tour guide. They felt the tour guide only wanted to make money from us, but I didn't really think that way, so I said something different. However, they didn't listen. Josh told me to stop and only listened. I found that the two sisters only care about what we didn't have but they didn't really care about what we had but others didn't.

That was annoying; the worst part was the tour guide heard what we thought about him and started feeling bad about this. I felt very sorry because I said something about the same to him before I really knew him.

I always feel that I speak too much and listen less sometimes, and I hurt other people before I even notice it but I really don't mean to hurt anybody. I have to remind myself. Don't jump into conclusion before I know everything.

Feel so bad ~ ~
