Let’s be honest, the first coming to my mind is the preparation for the trip to Moc Chau, a mountainous region in Vietnam. And we have a very interesting discussion before that day. You know what? We start to brainstorm the ideas of different activities that we will do there. Like hiking or visiting local markets or just relaxing in the trip. And you know one of my friends, she is a real nature enthusiast. She really want to go for camping. She want to have an experience of sleeping under star and just want to have a deep connection with nature, we can say it. But some other not really agree with it. They are quite hesitant about sleeping without staying in a hotel like that because they worry about the weather and especially the insects. So you know it start to have the lively debate between us about the benefit of staying for camping outside or enjoy the relaxing hotel. And I think even it’s a quite lively debate and we have a different perspective. We still have the consensus at the end and we decided to do both. Not only staying in the hotel but also do for camping a few days. And I think we learn a lot from each other to know how to have the negotiation and know how to persuade other people. And follow it to make it the harmony and just it.

Let's be honest, the first thing that comes to my mind is the preparation for the trip to Moc Chau, a mountainous region in Vietnam. We had a very interesting discussion before that day. We started to brainstorm ideas for different activities that we would do there, like hiking, visiting local markets, or just relaxing during the trip. One of my friends, she is a real nature enthusiast. She really wanted to go camping. She wanted to have the experience of sleeping under the stars and wanted to have a deep connection with nature, we can say. However, some others did not really agree with it. They were quite hesitant about sleeping without staying in a hotel because they worried about the weather and especially the insects. It started to create a lively debate among us about the benefits of camping outside versus enjoying a relaxing hotel stay. I think even though it was quite a lively debate and we had different perspectives, we still reached a consensus in the end. We decided to do both: stay in a hotel and also go camping for a few days. I think we learned a lot from each other about how to negotiate and persuade others, and we managed to create harmony in our plans.
