It was the last day and i feel sad but i was looking forward to what was plan for the day. It was my first time riding a boat so i was pretty scared. When we sailed across Tonle Sap river, it was breath-taking as the sceneries were beautiful and the sight of the floating boat houses were interesting. I sympathise the Cambodians and Vietnamese immigrants who lived in the boat houses as they were very poor. They even asked for donations from the tourists who also sailed across the Tonle Sap river. When i saw the kids on the floating school, i thought about the ones in Singapore. I feel that Singaporeans should be grateful to be living in a first world country.
When it was time to leave Cambodia, all of us were sad but at the same time, we miss our families in Singapore. Throughout this whole journey, i have met amazing friends, learn values of life and also accepting and appreciating what we have right now. This taught us to never take everything that we have for granted as they are others who are living in much worse situations than us. This journey is an eye-opener for me and i am very happy that i am given the opporunity to explore the world and not be ignorant. Not only that, i have so much fun working with my friends and spending this whole journey with them. The teachers were fun and out-going too. This makes the trip more exciting and enjoyable. This is one trip that i can never forget.
