Day Four:

    Today we visited the farm to engage in agricultural activities and toured around the village, which we took a look at the living conditions of the villagers and their houses. It was a huge eyeopener as a traditional village cannot be seen often in Singapore. In the farm, we planted rice and lettuce which was a new experience for us as it is the first time we have been to a plantation. It was a great experience as we get to appreciate the hard work the farmers put into harvesting and planting these crops to put food on our tables. We also participated in feeding the animals at the farm such as cows, buffaloes, deer and sheep.

    After the farm visit, we visited the Plaosan Temples, which was made up of two twin temples. The reason behind the twin temples was that they were made by King Rakai Pikatan for his wife at that time. It is a combination of Hindu and Buddhist architecture and religion.
