Usually when i go on trips or vacations or whatever to other places, I usually make friends with other people there. But when i do that, It feels REALLY sad the day that we (or I) have to go back to our homes knowing that we might never see them again, especially if we built up a REALLY strong friendship for those few days/weeks. What do yall think?
ADDITION:
And usually before we'd leave, we've exchange e-mails or AIM SNs but really that still doesn't do much.

Yea that's usually the case for me, but from july 11-20 i was on a church Missions trip with like 3 other church groups and have befriended many of those guys since day 1. When i had to leave them yesterday, it felt really sad after having built strong friendships with those guys, knowing that I'd never see them again (most of them were from california and I live in texas)

I don't meet anyone on trips, I just stay in the hotel/go sight seeing, blah blah, that's it 
Not much socializing with the locals.

Oh, I have a friend in Indonesia I see every year or two. He lives right across the street from my aunt's residence, and we have the similar interest of Starcraft and other games like that.

I met my art teacher's brother. He's an actor on broadway. Kick butt, eh?
I really don't like the natives no matter where I go. I did make a friend when I went to Canada. She changed her email and I have no way of contacting her anymore

Tshhhh, Im too anti-social...

I'm anti-social too, but that doesn't bar me from personal relationships. I hate being around a lot of people, I get a bad vibe and get depressed. It's weird.

Same here, and it's related to me being very non-dominant in conversations. I'm fine in a smallish group because I can make myself heard, but in larger groups I can hardly get a word in. I can also become slightly confused when I'm in a large group of people.

Ditto. If I have an opinion, I try to voice, but being polite, and usually interupted, I give the floor to them. They usually change the topic and my comment turns null.

I usually end up meeting girls on trips, and then I come home and never see them again. Chicks in the lower 48 are quite a bit hotter than the ones we have up here.

I'm Non-Demoninational. But if I were to classify myself as one of the denominations, i'd say im closest to Baptist.
One of those girls I met on my missions trip actually sent me an e-mail today and asked me to join her myspace.com friends list thing.

Im like anti-social enough so that i only make friends in places like school (Where im there everyday), and someone talks to me....
Im fine alone, anyway. Nobody understands that. (Of course i like to hang out with my friends! but..)

I am one of those habitually silent people (aka not social) and when I have conversations with people, it is basically just over like simple stuff and such whereas other people carry on long long talks over many particular areas.

[center]You shouldn't be talking to strangers...
I don't really talk much, unless I'm in a nukee mood. I haven't ever made a friend while on a trip, so I have no opinion.[/center]

Hey, I've seen a few hot broads in Alaska, don't you give up hope! It's a big state!
Report, edit, etc...Posted by MillenniumArmy on 2005-07-22 at 21:04:11
A big but mostly empty state (population wise) 
And besides, right across alaska is Russia and nearby should be some japs and koreans. Those people are also pretty good
