• Hero Rats

    28.–29. nov. 2024, Cambodja ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    The first thing we did today was to visit a Hero Rats information centre where they showed us how they train them to sniff out landmines and bombs. I liked this because it's such a smart way to free the world of landmines. They are African pouch rats and they are really big. When someone stands on a landmine it detonates instantly. The person may die or lose a limb. There are some bombs that are designed for tanks- packed with 6.5kgs of TNT.
    the Temples for today were different from the usual ones. The first one we had to climb a big hill and it was getting extensively renovated. And our last temple used to be a village a thousand years ago with lots of small rooms for houses.
    Our last night in Cambodia was spent at the circus. It was heaps of fun and I loved old mate doing his handstand tricks on 3 balance poles.

    Our time in Cambodia was amazing and I really enjoyed it here. My favourite thing was how friendly everyone was, the Hero Rats and my favourite temple was Angkor Wat.
