When we talk about the world's famed adventure itineraries, I am sure that New Zealand, Costa Rica or Iceland will spring to mind. These destinations describe the very essence of what photographers or hikers dream about.
I'd say so, but then as anyone can tell that's more a dream than reality at present. With the travel restriction and quarantine policy in mind, I consider my daughter very fortunate to have chance to spend a special week outside the classroom, camping in glorious weather, kayaking, working out her perserverance in ropes courses and scenic ridge-line hiking at Pak Sin Leng.
This week is furnished with all sorts of new and old friendship in the countryside, where she and her classmates laugh and joke like crazy buddies. That isn't as cozy as five-star hotels - when you count the way of washing dishes after meals - but the students love how they make their own hotdogs. That isn't as classical as holidaymakers snapping selfies - when smartphones aren't allowed - but they have their own journals to create their time capsules of memories.
It's heartening to imagine the fun she has had even without an air ticket or passport.
