Reflection (first day)

Hellos. :) Group 5 here !
Our reflections for day 1. :)

Within the airport - When we first stepped out of the plane, it was chilly & cold. It was not as hot as we expected despite having its dry season now. It was not as complicating as Singapore Changi airport as the terminal was very small and there was also alot of statues, this shows that it was rich in religious culture.

Siem Reap City - The ttraffic in the city is very not organised. They did not have many traffic light, which caused them to get into each other's way and led to traffic congestion. They did not have many road lanes and roads are very long, in which cows are also seen in the roads which cars travelled in. But still, the regular practise of the Red Cross students did amazed many of us, as the roads are well controlled under two students which aged around us.

Silk Worm Farm - Having to go to the silk worm farm, we were able to learn the process of silk being produced and see it with our own eyes. We were able to know the amount of silk produced required large human labour. We learnt that the people had to work very hard, just to earn a simple living.

Primary School - We learnt that we should not take things for granted. This is because in that primary school, they only got three toilets to share among nearly 400 students. Whenever it rains, it will also caused the inner to be wet. Also, a normal classroom size had to contain around 80 students, which hardly allow the students to have freedom to move around. They also did not have lockers, lights, fans, whiteboard etc. Although most students would need those things, they was not able to own it. Thus, we should learn to be more adaptable. Also, they usually walk to school instead of us singaporeans taking buses or cars and even taxis.
