0818 i tried trekking right behind this korean 大叔 for a while, following his steps... very slow pace... no panting at all though ascending ;)
... ya just for a while only, i don't think he will be happy with someone assessing and following him right behind him... i won't like it lor... will feel pressurised, worry if i am hindering or blocking anyone... guess its just basic courtesy not to trek right behind someone, everyone has the right to some basic space :)
