Hiking is not easy for me. Mondulkiri is the place where has a lot of mountains, so it’s hard to hike. We need to go up and down up and down the mountain and the road is not good too. It’s very dangerous it’s very very steep. The weather is very hot too. But it’s Ok because while we hiking, we make juke that makes everyone laugh and also teacher sang a song for us too to make us has more energy. Also while we hiking we have seen a lot of new thing from nature such as birds, animals and some plants that make us feel better too. And I just know that nature can also help us feel better and have more energy.

We are family, so we need to help each other. I help my friends a lot but not just friends, I also help the people who cook for us too. When we at the waterfall I and some of my friends help the guide cook the food for lunch. Also in our exploration, we have roles for each student when we on the trip. And I got Fire Fairies that need to collect the firewood. While we on the trip, when I finish collect the firewood I go and help the dinner people to cook or I help them the clean the dishes too.

We need water. Water is very important to us especially when we hiking or playing the sport. We need to drink a lot more water and more often. For this trip, I didn’t drink much water. That’s why I get dehydrated. When I get dehydrated it’s hard for me to hike and sure that you’ll get tired. I need to drink more water and more often to make me feel good and be a good self-leader too.

One of my highlight from the trip was to build the shelter only use a natural thing. We learn how to build the shelter because it’s easy while we hiking and some people get sick or something we know how to build a shelter for them to stay and protect from something dangerous like the storm, rain something like that. All of our students have to divide into 4 team and this team has won it.

Before the trip, everyone has a dream to see new and different birds in Cambodia. During the trip, everyone has a chance to see many birds. This is a picture of one of my friends tries to see the birds by using the binoculars. I have one too. I saw one parrot that stays on the branch of the tree. It’s full of green and has a long tail. I really enjoy seeing the birds.  

Traveling Theater Set Design 

In this term, I and some of my friend has an exploration call Traveling Theater Set Design. In this exploration is all about showing a play or something that moves around, for example, we show at this place after we finish we move to another place. The beginning of the exploration we have prepared some tools and the show. In our school, we also have one exploration that creates the play, but our exploration we also have created the play too and some other show such as sing the song with guitar and some magic show. Also, we need to think of the place that we go to play our show because some place may have a lot of light from the sun that makes audience can’t see the screen. We also have went on one trip and that trip was an amazing trip because we did very well. 

Traditional Food

This is around two of the exploration in this third years. For me, the round two explorations called Traditional food. Traditional food is the exploration that studies the traditional food in Cambodia such as  Amok. The first teacher has divided us into three group which are Photos team, Video team, and Journalism. For me, I’m in the photos team so I need to take photos when we go somewhere. So far we have to go to three restaurants that use to make the traditional food in Cambodia such as Mahob, Cuisine Wat Damnak, and The Sugar Palm. when we go there we have worked very hard some group goes to interview, some go to taking the picture and some go to taking video like b_row and a_row. For me interested in one restaurant that is Cuisine Wat Damnak. I love this restaurant because this restaurant Is making a traditional Khmer food even the dessert and the ingredients some they grow by themselves and some they by go and buy by themselves to make sure that ingredient is good. And the decoration is they change from the Khmer house into the restaurant. And the owner and the chef is from France but they make the Khmer food. By the end of this wonderful exploration, we have created an own product for me I’m in the photo team so I have created a photo essay. And here is my photo essay.

 

No single-use plastics in Liger

Say No To Single Using Plastic In Liger is one of the explorations for me this year. In this exploration we trying to eliminate the single using plastic in Liger. Single using Plastic is the plastic that we use it only one time and throw it away like plastic straws. And Now we are trying to stop using the plastic straw. And now we’re trying to put the policy and try to stop using plastic straw by don’t bring them into Liger and stop using by using the bamboo straw, metal straw, and grass straw instead of using a plastic straw. For the grass straw, we have research about it and it has one shop in Cambodia that use grass straw instead of using the plastic straw. And we have to go to that shop and we have interviewed some of the questions. And they said that grass straw we can drink with the hot water and cold water and if we put in the refrigerator it takes 3 months to destroy and if we put outside it about 3 days to destroy.
