Last week my exploration called “Advertisements and communicate in Cambodia” went to Bophana. During our trip to Bophana, we went and look at some of the old advertisements that they had there. This is a piece of the art call Red Recall and it’s one of the pieces that I really interested in from the showcase. This Red Recall shows what happened during Khmer Rouge regime and how Angkar force them to marry. They used some piece of newspaper that talk about Khmer Rouge and put it on a white background. There is a piece of wheat that represent during that time they work and do farming. As you can see there is a woman and men, and the women have a heartbroken because they don’t want to marry but Angkar force them to. During Khmer rouge regime, they do this sort of things force marriages, separated family and etc. That is their uniform, black shirt, and black pants and add a little red scarf around their neck. What I really like about this piece is that they wrote Khmer letter in red which represents blood and killing. It’s hard to understand the letter underneath there but it’s give a really good context by just observing. 

In the first week of my exploration, my team and I went to Battambong to collaborate and learn form Soksabike which is our mentor. We have a workshop with them and we been on two of their tour: Local Livelihood Bike Tour and Walk and Bike Tour. Their tour was amazing and also we get to try a lots of stuff that the villager made as a livelihood business. Without Soksabike helps this exploration would spend a lot of time researching for information. They basically share every information that they know to us and also allows the guides to share their experience. Furthermore they even teach us how to fix bike when their is a flat tire.

When we arrive at our school we divided our team into three: Tour, Marketing and Business. I am in the Marketing team with two other students. In Marketing we want to promote our business to our clients and also to attract customer; we had created a Facebook Page, Website Page, Brochure and registration form.

The Students who are in this exploration will be a tour guide without doing any tests. All of the donation from this business will go to the guide further education and business. Even this exploration end we also hire a Marketing manager and Business manager in order to run this business.
