Malaysia Week

My site was Kuala Gandah. We did camp for 2 days and went to hotel for another 2 days. Camp was really dirty and uncomfortable. No shower, no clean toilets and sleeping in tent full of insects! After two days of camp, we went back to a city and stayed in a 3 star hotel. I was really glad because it had A/C, clean toilets everywhere and shower whenever I wanted. BUT! on the way to zoo near by the hotel, I saw a cat crushed by a car, died and a guy who looked really drunk with drug in his hand. Even though the hotel was way better than the camp. It was ironic. I wanted to go back to the camp very much when I stayed in hotel..

GI video reflection

GI youtube video Reflection

In our global issues class, we watched GI youtube video which was about human population. The person scaled the human population to a hundred, because in this generation, the population growth is too big for our brain to realize how many the actual number is. After watching, I realized how many percent of people are suffering from poverty, aids and others. It surprised me so much because it was way much more than I could ever thought of. I felt really lucky about myself. I also felt kind of guilty to myself, I really wanted to help others who are in poverty


Please check the video.
