Everyday during the trip I learned so many new things about my friends, my teachers, myself, the past and about the country. I am sure I will never forget these experiences and the knowledge I have gained from them.

My favourite part of the whole trip was the day we spent at Khao Thone resort, it was extremely fun and relaxing at the same time, I especially enjoyed the little party thrown on the deck where Meng Cheang was having the time of his life unleashing his inner dancer.

Overall the whole trip was absolutely amazing and I am glad that this was our last trip at iCAN, for this was the trip that I and many others have grown as a person.

Today we are going to the tree top adventures and we hope it's going to be fun. We are very exited to go by boat because we really enjoyed the first time we went by boat on the second day. We have liked Khao Thone Resort be ause we could play lots of games and the view was amazing. We loved it last night when the electricity was turned off as we had time to talk about lots of things, like what we are doing bext year and what life would be like without electricity. Luckily the electricity was turned back on before bed!

It is definitely a trip to remember especially since we learned about the death railway and it was my last trip at iCAN. I loved watching meng cheng go up the zipline and then back down so hilarious I loved doing the zipline!

This trip was amazing, I'm very thankful that teachers spent time with us. It was great time to spend with Ami and Opal, during this trip I started to understand what real friendship really means. This trip was very educational. Now I know the history of the 'Death Railway'. I think that the most scariest part of the trip was when Ms. Ali said that the train is coming and I started to panic, but we made it! My favourite part of the trip was the zip line because I really like zip lining and I think it is one of the best activities to do with group of people. I think that food was great every day and also I was very happy that I was in the same room with Opal and Ami. Also I really enjoyed sitting on the same bus with Ms. Ali because we were singing, dancing and listening to songs.

The trip to Kanchanaburi was the best trip ever and my favourite memory of the last year in iCAN. In this trip I got to know more about my friends and teachers. My most favourite part of the trip was the zip lining. Because it's really fun to see people's reaction and I also like walking on the railway. I was walking in the front and Ms.Ali told me that the train was coming soon and Gloria was screaming with laughter which made it scarier. But actually the train was not coming but I still thought that train is coming and it was after rain, so the railway was wet and if I run I feel like I'm going to fall down. But it was still fun walking on such a high place. I also like the dinner on the boat. We eat our dinner on the boat and boat was moving so slow, so I have lots of time to play with my friends.

A definite trip to remember and a good experience for a lot of us, myself included. I personally like this trip because of it's historical aspects in the construction of the railway on the River Kwai. My personal favourite part of the trip was in the memorial service where we were constantly reminded how essential it is to remember those who suffered most in the construction of the railroad from Burma to Thailand. It would be a cliche to say that I enjoyed building upon the relationships I have already formed with other people, however, I think it should be addressed that every single part of this trip was only made enjoyable by being with my class, friends and of course, teachers.

This trip was one of the best trip I've been on. It was an awesome week, I had so much fun and lot's of memories. I have become more independent during this trip and I have gained a lot of things that will help me in the future, like time management. I had a lot of fun during the week from zip lining to walking in a cave. It was a great experience and I will never forget about it. The last, but one of my favourite trips, a great experience. I have built stronger relationships between my friends and me. Overall it was a great trip and I would like to thank all the teachers who helped prepare this trip

This was one of the most memorable trips I've ever had, since this was my final trip as an iCan student. I had so much fun visiting many different places with the people who were there with me since day one in iCan. I learnt a lot about the people I travelled with and the place I stayed in, Kanchanaburi. I have also gained some new experiences like travelling on a steam powered train or riding on a small motored boat. What was pretty scary was when we entered this really small cave, hoping for the place to not collapse. To me, I think zip-lining was a lot of fun, but I don't think it was as much fun as having time to talk to your friends, altogether. We had around an hour of bonding time when we were on the floating raft and when we were at our new resort. I also found out that one of my classmates was a 5 star dancer when we were at the new resort!
The bus rides, the train rides, the plane rides, the boat rides, they all took a really long time and it was very tiring, but it was definitely worth it. This was one of my favourite trips and it is one that will never be forgotten. Who knows if I will be able to travel with all of you guys again, but I will definitely remember this trip for the rest of my life. And a big thanks to Ms.Ali, Mr.Adrian, Mr.Sophak and Ms.Johanna for keeping all 20 of us safe, for a whole week. I hope to travel with all of you again one day, it was an amazing trip.

My last trip in Ican school was amazing and unique. During this trip I gained a lot of knowledge and experiences with my friends. To be honest this is one of the best school trips so far because there's an opportunity for me to spend time with my friends and getting to know the teachers in a different environment. The best part of the trip was zip line and spending time with friends. There's a lot of knowledge and skills that I learnt from that trip which was cooking,  travelling on a train and going through a cave which was scary. Sadly this is my last trip in iCAN and I'm glad that i went to Kanchanaburi to spend my last trip with friends and teachers. This memory will stay in my heart forever.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, this trip was the best trip ever for me and it's the last ICAN trip for year 9. I've experience new things that I've never done before. The best part of the trip is being together and doing different activities together. The scariest part of the whole trip was the train track because the teachers said that a train is on the track and we have 10 min to walk to the train station but at the end I was right on time to the station. Also a big thank you to all the teachers that organised the trip and I really enjoyed the trip. ;)

During our stay in Kanchanaburi I have learnt a lot about the events that took place during the creation of the railway. I found it a very interesting and informative residential visit, especially the part when we visited the Hellfire pass and the trestle bridges.

I enjoyed the overall experience to see historical sites with the class and it was quite cool to have been on the bridge over the river Kwai. The memorial service was a new experience which took a long time but it was nice to see an event like that take place. My favourite part of the memorial were the bagpipes. The best part was to see the historical sites here and it was more special because of the Dutch involvement during the building of the railway.

I gained a lot of knowledge about the railway and what had to be done for it to be completed. I was quite amazed at how much had to be carved out by hand which we saw at the Hellfire pass. I now have more knowledge about the things that happened in Kanchanaburi at the time and the knowledge can widen my views and understandings of what happened there.

This was a very educational trip but it was my favourite because of the new experiences and the things we have done together as a class and as friends there.

This was the best trip by far and I have made so many amazing experiences during the trip. Treetop climbing was by far the most favorite part of the trip, even though I hit my chin pretty bad with the metal part of the chain for treetop climbing it still was fun. I also loved the last day when each group were assigned to create a task and the conflicts we had with the other teams. I would just like to thank the teachers for organizing this trip and I'm sure I will remember all the  astounding moments that I have experienced with friends during the week and I hop I will have a trip just as amazing as the one I had this year!

This was a very fun trip and by far one of the most memorable trip ever. I gain lots of knowledge and experiences in this trip. Learning about the history of the railway in World War 2 and knowing how many soldiers died in the making of the railway was very interesting. I also really love this trip because we get to know our friends more and we also gain an opportunity to spend time with them. One of the best parts of the trip was when we went to the Tree Top adventure and ziplining across the huge lake. It was challenging for some of us including me but I managed to overcome my fears. The other special memory was when me and Melisa create the quiz night. I felt very happy and proud seeing many people enjoying the quiz night and having fun. It was such a great time. I really want to thank Ms. Ali and all the teachers for making this trip happened and overall this will be a trip I will always remember.

I say this was the best trip I had so far in the whole school, I had no trouble at all during the time and it was also the first time I saw a train. I think this trip was really good for me because I never really get out of my house at all and walk around a lot. Overall I think this was a really good experience for a person like me. I liked the food and ate a lot and I enjoyed hanging out with everyone and talking to people who I usually don't talk to. I enjoyed every moment of the trip although it was very tiring and I had to get lots of sleep when I arrived home. I really liked the resort, there was a swimming pool and some games to play with. But what I really enjoyed most was riding the train because I have never rode a train before, so it was quite exiting for me.

# data[].attributes.body
This trip was the best residential trip I've ever experienced in iCAN, I learnt lots of things about Kanchanaburi and my classmates, improved our friendships, and had so many new experiences.
Even though I didn't really like some of the activities, such as going to the museum because it explained about how Japanese people forced people to work which made me feel really guilty and mad, I enjoyed most of the events we did during the trip. I especially enjoyed the speed boat riding and zip-line because it's not something that we can do frequently in Cambodia and there was always risk around it such as falling out from boat or falling from the trees.
This trip was really impressive to me, and I will not forget this awesome memory in the future.

This week was emotional because we learnt a lot about Burma-Thailand railway in WW2 and the lives of POWs (Prisoners of War) - I found it very emotional during the service of remembrance because I wasn't reminiscing on my grandpa's time in the war and his position as a rear gunner. During this trip I got to know my friends a lot more and how they are out of the school environment, I found out habits and abilities of my friends I have never known before. If we could have another trip and spend time together bonding and talking, I would definitely do it again.

# data[].attributes.body
This trip was very amazing. I had lots of fun and I enjoyed spending time with my friends and doing amazing things during the trip with my friends and with the teachers. I think that this trip was the best trip ever. Shout out to Ms.Apple for organizing the activities and making sure that the students had a wonderful time in Thailand. This is a trip I'll never forget and thank you to Ms.Ali, Mr.Sophak, Ms.Johanna and Ms.Apple for making this trip amazing and thanks to my friends that have made it even funner.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the best trip ever!! I've gained a lot of experiences that I can't get in school whether it's sitting on the train or doing a zip line across the lake. I enjoyed every minute and second I spent in Kanchanaburi. Thank you to my teachers and friends that supported me throughout the whole trip and made me challenge myself to do things that I've never done before, for example swimming in the river or doing a scary zip line. Every single memory that I've made at Kanchanaburi with my friends and teachers I'll forever remember it. Lastly thank you Ms. Ali, Mr. Adrain, Mr. Sophak, Ms. Johanna and Ms. Apple as well as my friends that made this trip the best of the trips so far and one I will never forget.

I had such an amazing week, this week. We went to Thailand, Kanchanaburi, it was really fun, I can't believe we are back :(. Well my favorite part of the trip is spending time with you guys, getting to know you guys more and the tree top adventure. The Tree Top adventure was the best part because it was fun and to see people's reactions about the height.

On the trip i learnt a lot about people in my class. I tried to understand people better and during the week I got to know how people think more and now I can help them because I understand them more.
Like when i first started this trip i learnt our tour person Ms Apple is nice and although she does not live in Cambodia she is nice and that was nice.

I have learnt a lot of things on this trip and I took notes a lot to help me with my exit point. I also learnt a lot of lessons about my friend like when Ms Ali asked us to tell us to reflect on things and what we enjoyed the most, I liked this.

# data[].attributes.body
This was by far the best trip ever. I overcame so many of my fears during this trip. It was definitely scary to zip line and go through small places when you're claustrophobic and scared of heights, but with the right people, you'll forgot about your fears and have fun. This was an amazing trip and I made memories that I can never forget and will always have with me. I'm very sad that this trip has ended but I know that even though the trip came to end, the relationships I built during this trip will never end.

Yesterday I woke up about 7am, showered and made my way over to have breakfast. I was one of the first ready for breakfast which was good. The first thing we did was drive to the Death Railway Museum. I learnt that in the cemetery opposite there were 5000 memorials for the lives that were lost. In the afternoon we went on speed boats and they were really fun as they went really fast. I also really enjoyed when we went on the floating restaurant as it moved up and down the river and afterwards we played cards (which Ollie won four times, but I won once) which was fun! Today we are checking out of our resort and moving to a different place and we are getting back on the train!

We spent the morning learning about the construction of the railway from Burma to Thailand and the role POWs, migrant workers and each nation had to play in this effort and the subsequent mass loss of lives.
