Group 3 - Reflection Day 1 :D

My First Impression of Siem Reap (within the Airport)

When we just arrived the airport , my first impression was that the weather is very cooling unlike Singapore .

It was indeed a very different place compared to Singapore. Its just, very calm and peaceful. Unlike singapore- Facing a busy lifestyle. Though their Airport isn't as nice and grand as Singapore. Its still considered a very nice place (:

My Second Impression of Siem Reap (within Siem Reap City)

The streets are filled with more motorcycle than cars. With is not like Singapore with has more cars then motorcycle. And even though it was the city, it was quite as windy as at the airport. And the people there were very friendly as they smiled at us as we pass by them. But it was not very clean as Singapore. They do not have rubbish bin like Singapore for its people to throw rubbish. Not only that, the water is not really as clean like Singapore. Hence, my impression of Siem Reap is not as very clean and hygenic country (:

Silk Worm Farm

The Silk Worm Farm didn't smell very good , however it was an interesting experience for us :D

W found out that the farm needs much human labour to produce the silk and cotton . We have never seen the process of making silk and a silk worm before . We saw the making , dying , processing of the silk . We also found out many steps of making the silk . For example , the drying of the cocoon in the hot sun after the moth has escaped and the mating of the Silk Worm Moths (Eat . Sleep . Make Love . Die ) - Said by the guide in the farm .

School

We believe that we had made an impact in the school by building another toilet , building an incinerator and painting the walls of the classroom . Our first impression of the school was that it has a very big area but very small classrooms which has a maximum capacity of around 60 students . The furnitures in the classrooms cannot be compared to those that we have in Singapore as they are old . Its not a very well developed country as the toilet has no proper system of disposal and has no electricity . The school is very unhygeinic as there are litter everywhere and by building the incinerator we hope to reduce the land poullution . We learnt how to mix cement , how to lay the bricks and painting the walls . With the help of the Cambodians , we were able to complete our goal for day even faster . The water used to wash off the paints were then directed to the river which was very close to the paddy fields . There were fishes living in there , which could kill them and cause air poullution .
