A mission to Siem Reap

Last weekend I joined a missionary trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia. It was an initiative by a pastor from SIB. We visited three villages. Each day we took like an hour more road trip to the village. There the team members shared the gospel, and the villagers responded. Most of the villagers were women and children. I guessed the men must have gone out for work. Or perhaps work overseas. After the sharing, we provided medical consultation. We had two doctors on board with us. In the afternoon, some team members had fun time with the children. The children received some goodies too. The trip was overall enlightening. God is still at work.

Why did I join such trip? I guess it was a calling. Plus He did answer my prayer by providing an affordable air fare (I asked for less than RM300 round trip, and I did get it). Probably I will come back in future.

This wedding has some similarity with ours but, by comparison in every detail, each is still distinctly unique.

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park. One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Trip 01-06: Day 8-9 (The end)

Day 8-9 (13-14 May) We proceed to Thailand in the morning. The immigration process was the easiest. We crossed the river by boat and reached Chiang Khong (the border town of Thailand). Then a mini van to Chiang Mai. Arrived in Chiang Mai about 4pm. Looked for a cheap room and then had an excursion around the town. The next day we will depart and back to M'sia. It has been a pleasant trip for the whole week. Laos is a beautiful and peaceful country with abundant of unspoiled forest and mountains. Now we have to get back to our real life. End of the trip.

Life, Travel, GRACE
