My first impression of Siem Reap
The airport seems unique appearing to be more like a resort hotel rather than a airport. Even though there were air-conditioner installed the airport, it was even colder due to the morning breeze and the opened entrance of the airport. The facilities there were similar to the ones in Singapore however, the design of the airport seems to be very traditional filled with statues of Hindus god. I learned that the statues were made from sandstone, popular during the Angkor period, which appears to be red in colour. One thing we observed is that the Siem Reap City seems to be a undeveloped city. This is because the building there were all two storey shophouses and the people there seems to be living in their own pace and yet work very hard for their own living. On the way around, we saw buffaloes and mistook it as cows and was embrassed by the tour guide. The roads were also very uneven casuing the bus to go bumpy almost everytime.
The silk farm:
The silk worm farm is very different from singapore as we always thought that silk is easily produced. However, after witnessing the process of producing silk, i realised that the making of silk is very tedious.It is amazing to know that silk comes from worms. but the process is very disgusting. They actually boiled the pupua and it is kind of cruel. I will spread this knowledge to everyone, to tell them that silk is hard to produce and we should cherish it.
The Primary School
My first impression of the school was that it was not as badly done up as i had thought. It was actually quite decent except for the lsck of toilets and the state of the classrooms. The classrooms were located in small cramped spaces and some of the table and benches were even broken. As for the toilets, the room was too dark and eerie with a bucket of water for u to flush. This is very unhygenic, and can lead to diseases such as malaria.
