B Leaving our hostel in the centre of Phnom Penh, we climb inside our small Tuk Tuk cabin attached to the back of Kiwi's motorbike；a bottle of water in one hand and a surgeon-style mask in the other we set off on our 45-minute commute. It is a familiar start to the day for me and two other volunteers. We are setting out to work in an orphanage just outside Cambodia's capital city. The morning rush hour in Phnom Penh is crowded and chaotic. Kiwi directs our path between the trucks, 4X4 Lexus' and countless motorbikes, which often carry entire families. We reach the dusty highway, masks and sunshades firmly in place to protect our eyes and lungs. A mixture of concrete buildings and huts exist along the side of the road among a sea of rubbish. The residents often smile and wave as we pass by. We turn onto a farm track. The last part of our journey is a roller coaster, jumping out of potholes（路面坑洼）and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road. We pass huts on stilts （木桩），skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us. The stream along the side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields. Finally we arrive at our destination：the oasis（令人快慰的地方）is Samrong Farm. By the gates, a group of 10-year-old children compete in the area of marbles. We're greeted by the shouts of “Cha, cha（short for ‘teacher’）!" from several other kids gathering round. As we climb out of our vehicle, the sun is already hot and the oasis is as dry as the fields surrounding it.

Pleasure of being in a different culture. C There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1 % feel life hasn't treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair? We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices a bo u n d . I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society —it's largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
