I feel that this trip to Yunnan is the most wonderful and fun trip among the other entire overseas trip I haven been to. After going to this trip, it made me realized a lot of things beyond Singapore and things that I have not realized for a very long time. This trip also made me learnt things that I actually have and don’t have.

After coming back from this trip, I fell that I have become a changed person. I feel that this trip made me become a better person, in a way that I would treat my parents better for what they are and also that they are my parents for 16 years from the moment I am born, they have also taken care of me for the past 16 years without fail, they haven make sure that I haven 3 meals to eat and wont go hungry. I feel that I should thank my parents for what they have done and that I will do whatever I can to support them for their rest of the life when they grow old. Another thing I feel is that I should cherish my parents and enjoy every moment that I have with them now because we might not know what might happen to them any moment. So I will change my attitude towards them and I will help them do the housework whenever I am free so that they can rest. I will also remember the curfew they give me when I go out. To me parents are the most important in this world!

After visiting the schools in Yunnan, it made me understand that whatever I have now can actually mean nothing if I do not cherish and treasure it well. I feel that the Yunnan students are actually very good students and they have a lot of dreams and goals to fulfill. But in their country is different. Only those who have relationship to the officials and government people are able to fulfill and go towards their dreams. For those whose parents are farmers, their children will also be farmers for the rest of their lives, meaning that what their parents are, is what they will be in future. So I feel that being able to study in Singapore is very lucky because we are able to complete our education from primary to secondary school to junior college/polytechnic then if you do well you are able to go to university. So I feel that we Singaporeans must cherish the education system that we have and study well so that we will be able to find a good job in future.

I feel that the scenery there is very nice, it is like even nicer than Singapore, and we can also see the snow mountain there which is even nicer. The people of china are also heart-warming and friendly to us. Especially the tour guide, she would always talk to us on the bus ride to another destination more about china and their history. Also, the waiter and waitress were also very friendly and their services were also very good. But when it comes to bargaining for things, the china people are like a sudden change of person, they became very fierce and loud towards us, hahha.

To me I feel that the Yunnan there is quite okay to me after being there for a few days because i think that my body is able to adapt to the environment there. On the day we reached kunming airport, the weather was like so cold! I have to put on all the winter clothing and I look like a penguin, haha. Even though I am able to take the temperature, sometimes when we are at high altitude, I would get headaches and would want to vomit. I feel that it is common for us as our body is not familiar with the environment there and also when we go there we will need more oxygen as the oxygen level there is low. I really wish that we will stay longer there as I want to enjoy more of the scenery there and also spent more time with the chestnut drive secondary and jurong junior college and regent secondary students.

I feel that we should pity the people there also. Because the people which live in the rural areas such as the mountains did not get to bath always and the had to wear the clothing the worn for like 1 week as the only get to bath once a week. Also when I saw the conditions there at Long Pan secondary, it was very far different from Singapore. The students were very hardworking and they would spent their free time studying and playing sports, not like us Singaporean students, we would play computer games when free. If we were to live there without technology for 1 day, I feel that we would not be able to survive there because we rely too much on technology. I think that we should learn from them as it will do us good.

Overall I feel that this trip is the most memorable trip. If I were given a chance to go again, I would not hesitate to agree because I feel that it is a good learning experience for me. I would also encourage those people who are always naughty in class to go for this kind of trip in future, because in my opinion I think that when he come back from the trip, he will become a change person. I think that after going this trip, we should cherish whatever that we have now, because we might not even know when we might lose our closest kin, opportunities and even things we have.
