canoeing on JamesRiver

"I'll never canoe any more in my life!"
This was what Zhu Meng complaint when we couldn't do anything but sit in the canoe and keep rowing and rowing along the James River for almost 4 hours.
I'll never know one can have such a potentiality. Both of us didn't know how could we finally reach the destiny and lift the canoe up to the land~We were so tired and thirsty~

However, I was also ashamed of myself. While all of the Chinese students had to sit on the road to have a short rest, all of 4 Americans(including a girl) still worked hard, and it seemed like they still had a lot of energy. Chinese students have to spend most of the time on studying since they were very youny, so they have little ability to fight for life and survival. On the contract, Americans are always good at "solving problems". Whenever there is a accident, they will keep calm and handle it out.

We should shift our focuses a little bit onto the abilities in life.
