I just got back from my 17-day Sulawesi trip 11 days ago. Overall, it was one of the best trips I’ve had so far. Many of the places I went to were amazing, some turned out to be lower than what I’d expected. But for me personally, the most highlight of this trip was that I (along with my travel mates Mumun & Reno) mingled with other travelers as well.

I don’t know why, but this was actually the first time I talked quite a lot to travelers other than my own group. In my trip to Vietnam and Cambodia last year (with Mumun & Renny) actually we met a lot of travelers as well, but somehow we preferred to keep conversations only among ourselves. Like, I would hesitate to start a conversations with others, afraid that they’d feel bothered, with a thought in mind that westerners in general are more private people.
