Barge Trip of 2015.

We have arrived at Phnom Penh International Airport.
It will probably take about 30 minutes to get through immigration.
5:50
We are leaving bangkok at 5:50 (slightly late).
And after being in Bangkok traffic...
2:18
On the bus to the airport, leaving the barge behind and taking away memories, new experiences, and new friends...
Question asked on the pier...are you the same person who got on this barge three days ago?
10:30
Students just finished playing a communication/cooperation game in which a group of students communicated by hand signals with one controller/student who then communicated directions verbally to a blindfolded/robot student in order to gather little cloth "bombs".
Students made these reflections upon finishing:
"I learned that it's not always good to work by yourself. It's better to work in a group."
- Zachary
"We have to listen to each other and help each other when working in a group."
- Jessica
"You shouldn't always do what you want. You have to think about what others think and work it out together."
- Chetra
Now they are having a slight history lesson about the migration of the Mon people to the island of Koh Kret and their pottery skills.
They are then going to explore the island analyzing what they see in terms of the "Compass of Sustainability" the cardinal points being: economy, nature, well being , and society.

Discussing the importance of resources...

The cleaning team is sweeping and mopping. This is what they said when I asked them how they feel about their job: "I feel awesome about it!" and "The cleaning is a bit tiring and gross because your back hurts, but the whole Barge Trip is fun." and "it's tiring and gross"
The cooking team is busy cooking dinner. This is what they think about their job: "The funnest [ more fun ] job!" And "Awesome and fun and I don't cook these things so it's fun making Thai foods"
When I asked the games group if they liked their job or not and why, they said: " It was easy because we all agreed to things and yeah..." and "Umm.. it's perfect"
I asked the word group what they like and don't like about their job. They said: "It was fun because we get to interdoce new games. The Barge Trip is awesome!!" and "It's nice because you get to be creative and no one juges you"
The navigation said this when I asked them about if they like their job or not: "The thing I liked was that we got to sit on the wheel house"
