"Hey! we are having a Cambodia Sharing Session this thurs, 5pm at LT26... "

"...*raise eyebrows* euw! Cambodia? "
"... *twisting lips* ugh! Cambodia?! "
"... *starring right at you as if u are a complete idiot* for wad? "

judgemental people! Cambodia is so beautiful. its beauty radiates from deep within. the innocence in the children's eyes. the smile of the locals that reaches deep into you. the trust within the community. the friendliness of the locals. the sincerity of them. the diligence of the students.

Cambodia does not have huge Theme Parks. neither does she have major shopping centers. Cambodia have landmines, and beggars.

despite its flaws, despite it being a 3rd world country, its beauty is something that radiates from deep within and touches ones heart.the sincerity of the people and the contentment that u see in them. it is not something on the surface. neither is it something that can be pass by word of mouth. it is something that one should experience to understand. it's the heartfelt kind of warmth, that most of the 1st world nation has already lost it!

being selfish, i hope that people continue having the mentality that Cambodia is dangerous and boring- no shopping paradise, no theme parks... sure! just continue believing that.. cos mass tourism will definitely damage the environment.

Singapore is a !st world country with lousy attitude!
