1. What did I find out during the cooperation project? What did I find most interesting, strange, funny, akward?
I learned about some aspects of Cambodian culture during my research and by reading some of the blogs. The blog by Boramey was very interesting to read for example, especially her article about the new year celebrations. The video about insects as food was interesting as well. I am not sure if I would like to try eating insects myself, but I didn´t find it disgusting. I guess “normal food” just means something different for people coming from different cultural backgrounds.
2. What was easy, what was difficult in the communication process?
The moodle forum worked fine and I got used to it quickly. The e-mail communication between me and my Cambodian partners worked fine too, but I thought it was a pitty that nobody was able to skype with me the other day. It would have helped to make the exchange more real to talk to each other “face to face”. I also commented some blogs and two of the students wrote me back (Kounila and Boramey) but nobody commented my blog or my video.
3. What would I still like to find out from the other students?
I would like to learn more about Cambodian traditions as well as their different ways of life today. Is religion an important topic for Cambodian people? How does religion influence their lifes? Is corruption really widely spread in the Cambodian education sector? (as I read in a traveler´s guide about Cambodia)
