Day 1
Day one included meeting
our instructors, the bus ride,
and the rock climbing.
The b

ride The bus ride there was
alright. For about 4 hours sitting in the same seats isn’t really
the most exciting thing, however it was
still fun just talking to
friends.

Brandon. He is from Cambodia and seemed
really nice. We had some good conversations about
sports etc.
Rock

Rock Climbing was one of the
activities I was slightly afraid
of, especially since I am not
very good with heights.
However, I tried it and it was
at least a little fun. When I
was climbing I felt great and
like nothing was wrong,
however as I looked down I
noticed how high up I was.
Therefore I simply asked the
instructor to let me down. I
thought I still did well,
because I know I could have
gone further but I simply
didn’t feel like it.
Day 2
Day two included biking and
visiting the village.

Visiting the village wasn’t fun but it wasn’t too bad either. I
got some nice Oreos, a
phone card and some
nice shades. I said it
definitely was a success, plus talking
to my friends was pretty fun too.

Biking was for sure one of the most fun activities we did throughout the whole
trip. Even though some people thought
it was difficult I have
to say that I didn’t find
it hard at all. However,
the view was very beautiful and I really
enjoyed the exercise I
got out of it.
Day 3
Day three included caving,
teaching Chinese students
and going camping.

Teaching the students was a
big challenge for me. I really
don’t like little kids because
they always go on my nerves.
Therefore I really was not
looking forward to this activity.
What made it kind of easier for
me was that I knew that we
were all prepared and we knew
what was going to happen.
When it came to the actual
teaching I believe we did a
great job, we kept them
occupied the whole time and I
think they even learned
something. Maybe even I did.
Cavi
ng
Caving was the best activity we did
throughout the whole trip. For once
we actually had some free time and
got to hang with our friends. The
fact that we won the challenge just
made it even better. When the first
clue was found I was cheered up
and I wanted to win the challenge
the instructors had given to us. I
felt great coming out of the cave
knowing that we were the first ones
to make it, even though I would
have liked to stay a little longer.
Also do I think by planning a little I
definitely helped out my group
which I am quite proud. And I mean
I even found a clue which made me
feel very good and happy.

The camping was fun. We started
off with a very simple design
which seemed to be the one
everyone was using. As we were
working on putting on the
mosquito net, I got quite
frustrated and I believe so did my
teammates. As Mrs. Lynch was
watching us she suggested a
different design. I was happy to
hear her suggestion since it
seemed as if we got stuck. Our
goal was to have a unique tent.
Even though it took us a while we
did achieve that goal. While
building it I had a lot of fun joking
around with my team. And
surprisingly I slept very well.
Day 4
Day four was finally the last day.
We went up to the mansion and
then took the bus back home.

The mansion was…interesting. I thought this
activity was one of the most
boring and most useless
activities. The time we used
for visiting the mansion,
should have been used for
cleaning our rooms, taking
a nice shower, packing our
stuff, and to sleep longer. I
don’t think we got anything
out of it, except maybe
hectic right before we were
about to go home.
