Can you help me do the math? On my first plane ride, I traveled from Toronto, Canada to Guangzhou, China. On my second plane ride, I traveled from Guangzhou, China, to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Both flights I was traveling 754km/h. The flight from Toronto to Guangzhou was 16 hours and the flight from Guangzhou to Phnom Penh was four hours. How far did I travel?
I just started the journey – so if you can figure out my flight distance, you’ll know how far I have traveled.
This week I traveled in a huge airplane. I am fortunate enough to have traveled a lot in my life, but this plane was bigger than most planes. There were three rows. Two rows had three seats, and one row had four seats. There were 60 rows total. Can you guess how many people were on the plane? (It was a full flight!)
The most interesting place I visited this week was a memorial to the Cambodian genocide known as The Killing Fields. In the late 1970s, an extreme Communist group called the Khmer Rouge took political power in the country. They forced people out of their homes, made them give up their possessions, separated families and forced people to work as farmers in rice fields.
