We have learned a lot about this project. We've learned how to organise the work and how to do it. At first, it has been dificulty but later we learn how to do it and it was easy. We learn many things. We learn how to buy rickets for the plane, we learn how to reserve a bedroom for a hotel and we learn many things about Asia; the food, the culture, the places... We also learn a very important thing. We have learned that life is very expensive. We don't thing that a trip was to expensive, we learn to be cheap. Apart from learning, we also have fun during this round the world. We visited many places of Asia and we believe that is a fun way to work.
