we sat in the lounge area, got to know each other, ate, drank, laughed, just shared what we each had going on, shared some things we struggled with and got to know each other. my family left satisfied, i was less than impressed. that's the reason why people hate history and/or find it extremely boring or useless. some find it helpful to use a bamboo mat, but i prefer to just use my hands. even when there are distractions, those with strong management styles know how to keep their teams on track.
