In the first week, we were given a brief and topic which is myths. Hence, we started to do our research regarding myths. As we were going to go to Bangkok, Thailand, we had to do research on some Thai myths. After refining our research, we decided to focus on the topic Mae Nak, the most famous Thai ghost. She also has a shrine in Bangkok, where we could visit to do our further research.

Below is the initial compilation of research:

Before trip:
Data collection, proposal, ideation

Before the trip, we were to do data collection and analysis. Data collection is sourced from online research and books. After that, we came up with a proposal.

We also had to come up with 3-5 ideas each and to be selected for the presentation. These are my ideas, with a brief explanation on each of them.

Upon approval, we will have to present to Ms Jinchi our topic before embarking on the intercultural trip to Thailand.
