Cambodia, the most memmorable country i have ever been to. It was also a place i never regretted going but it was also the place that made me feel proud that i went there as a leader from SengKang secondary. Cambodia was the country where i learnt many things during the day i spent there. It was also the place which was very meaningful , different yet a fun country. I really miss the time i had spent there but i'm happy to have those precious memories.
Everyday in Cambodia was a new day full of experience. Actually during the first day, i felt as though i'm gonna have trouble fitting in and even dreaded why i joined this experiential learning. But from just the hours i had spent with my friends and some interactions with the cambodians i felt it was not bad afterall. We actually stayed at the wonderful village,Chombok . It was also the village we were about to build the well for. In the village there were many pets as well as many types of Flies. Actually it was really annoying to see all those flies surrounding you most of the times. But then we realised that as our aim to bild the well, we mustget used to it so that we would be able to accomplish our mission. With that mindset,we,the leaders were able to get over with the flies and did not really complain about it.
On the second day, we were all ready to built the wells and accomplish our mission. We actually walked to that area, and on the way, i actually enjoyed the scenary and the cambodia breeze. When we reached the area, we realised that the cement was actually very fun from the well and we needed to actually bring the cement nearer. That was when we all formed the human chain and brought back the cement. It was really a long way and it was really hot. But the leaders and i did not give up and toiled hard t build the well succesfully. Each of us were assigned to do something,and my group was assigned to do the sawing. I think it was also the first time i actually used the saw and i truly enjoyed myself. It was a great experience for me. And at night, we had the campfire which we all awaited for. everyone's hardwork really paid of and i wwas really glad that we gave an awesome shoe to the Cambodians.
The third day arrived quickly too. We actually went to a nearby school for our CIP. it was a really tiring way up cause the school was quite high and to our shock,it was relatively small. All the students there did not have proper attire too,it was actually sad to see them like that. Due to the time constraint, we did not really get much time with the students to play games so we started to give out the donation items to them. The cambodians accepted everything with a big smile and it was a pleasure seeing their smiles. Next was the most memmorable thing in my life,Trekking!! I am pretty sure it was the best thing that happpened to me in thw whole year. Ireally really enjoyed trekking a long way to the waterfall. We also helped each other and became more united. Trekking was just simply awesome.
In a blink of an eye,The fourth day arrived. We went to the Tuol Sleng Museum and Russian market. The mueseum was really one of the saddest place i ever went to. But it also taught me the history of Cambodia. i was also shocked of what i saw because the things i saw and heard were really atrocious. But the shocking thing is that the case is still going on. It is just so unbelievle to know such things could have happened. Well lastly we went to the last spot in Cambodia, the russian market. i really enjoyed shopping there cause the things were cheap but they were really very pretty.
The entire trip was totally awesome and i enjoyed myself truly.
