When I watch people hiking up a mountain in a television documentary, I can't help but feel as if hiking is an easy activity. This is because the hikers in those documentaries seem to enjoy every moment of their trek -- they even sing and laugh while hiking. They seem not to feel any discomfort nor encounter any difficulty during their trek. This perception is obviously far from the truth.

Just recently, my classmates and I hiked up a mountain; and yes, it was a tiring and painful ordeal. The path we took to go up the mountain was narrow, muddy and slippery causing many of us to loose our balance and slip. Furthermore, some parts of the path were so steep that we needed to hold onto a rope just to pass through. And as if those weren't enough, the path was lined with horse and water buffalo waste matter that we must avoid stepping on. I guess it's really true that one can never know how challenging or difficult an activity is until one tries to do it.
