My take is this : be careful and don't throw caution out with the wind. But don't be overly cautious that u can't try new things. There are merits and also disadvantages of a guided trip. But being on solo is not to bad at all. The trick is to find a balance in it all. If you think you are clever, your hubris will do u in. Most here will ask you to come in here with a measure of humility. For me, I have been a silent reader for the longest time here and sometimes my comments overstays it's welcome. So, I suck it up and try to make my next trip and yet another next trip a memorable one. Some days I feel old and tired. Others days I try to squeeze out another extra bullet to make it a bang for buck 'experience'. I say just define your goal each time and not forget to put in a trip report once in a while. So that we can celebrate your journey. Even if someone duduct your points, be happy to know your trip enjoyment has not diminished, especially when you look back with glee you have accomplished your mission. Have fun n be safe bro.

I do agree with what u said bro

Normally before any trip I just like to see my options based on the time I have. I preferred solo or in small group I can click, easier this way. Everyone has their own opinions on stuffs, which I can respect, but just don't think everyone must think the same way

Points not that important lah, as long don't get moderate can liao 555
The longer one stay in forum, the lesser one will write a TR I think. That excitement is different from when we started out. Anyway most TR from people like me are just those closer to what tourist will go, if have those private shared joints cannot really write also. If write end up a bro u know want the location, but can't give cos u promised another bro never to give out.
Pardon me if I offend any bros here, but every time I read HCM thread (1-3) over the years (like wrong timing I think). I always see there's people who loves watch drama, or people who loves being in drama, or people who loves start drama, or people who gets dragged into drama. For me I just hate dramas

Just try get whatever update info I need and calls it a day. Unless I really have question then ask.
