Hi guys! Although Ben Cho excused felina and me from doing reflections due to our last paper a day before our departure, I felt the need to still do my reflections and so I did it on the flight to Cambodia and stored it on my phone. Here it is:

• Going to Cambodia, and on a personal level, what do you hope to achieve? (Give at least three different objectives)

I hope to have growth in the area of discipline - I think that regardless of the ideas and skills which we have, they are all nothing without discipline.

I hope that there'll be many unforgettable and memorable experiences to be had both educational and personal.

I hope that we'll be blessed with a smooth trip without any bad incidents.

• On my own, have I made a concerted effort to find out more about Cambodia? Its geography, history, culture, politics, economy? What can I do about it?

I watched The Killing Fields, a 1984 Oscar-nominated film. While the movie is not entirely factual, after all being fiction, it is still based on the true and horrifying events that occurred during the rule of the Khmer Rouge.

I also learned that it's very hot in Cambodia now due to the dry season.

• What are your fears going on this trip? Elaborate.

Fear itself. Because I believe in overcoming fear itself, there is nothing left to be afraid of.
