Santoshima Resident: hi Korel
stevenaia Michinaga: how is your trip, or work as it must feel like that by now
Korel Laloix: Back in the states now, things ended up earlier than we expected.
stevenaia Michinaga: welcome back
Korel Laloix: So spending some time in Florida before heading back home.
stevenaia Michinaga: will you be returning?
Korel Laloix: Maybe, but not sure. Will have to think if I want to do something like that again.
Korel Laloix: Very mixed feelings about it.
stevenaia Michinaga: ....listens
Korel Laloix: Just lots of bad experiences, more so than the good ones.

--BELL--

Korel Laloix: And not fully sure something will come of the work.
Korel Laloix: So will really have to think on the idea before I ever try to do something like that again.
stevenaia Michinaga: Sometime those are the most valuable experiences, the ones you may not want to do again
Korel Laloix: It changed me for sure.
Korel Laloix: Stlll sort of figuring out how though.
stevenaia Michinaga: why was it so short a time there?
Korel Laloix: We came back one week early due to some issues.
Korel Laloix: But we got about 85% of what we wanted to get done accomplished plus some other things.
stevenaia Michinaga: still much to do there
stevenaia Michinaga: I can't imagine where anyone would begin
Santoshima Resident: good night you two
stevenaia Michinaga: Night San
Korel Laloix: Take care.
stevenaia Michinaga: Were there cultural or social issues, or both?
stevenaia Michinaga: ot neither
stevenaia Michinaga: *or
Korel Laloix: All of that and more.
Korel Laloix: I never really had an understanding of what it was like in that part of the world. Worse than reservations by quite a bit.
Korel Laloix: Made me thankful, but a bit disheartened as well.
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
Korel Laloix: Just not sure what to think ab out a lot of it.
stevenaia Michinaga: how many were in your group
Korel Laloix: Total there were 11, some local, and a couple were just part of hte shipping team. So sort of depends on what you call the team.
Korel Laloix: But just five of us technical folks were traveling around.
