Day 3 in Cambodia:
Floating Village, Tonle Sap Lake, Shopping and journey to Phnom Penh.

So after spending the entire day of day 2 touring ancient Angkor temples, on day 3 we got a chance to visit and behold more cultures and lifestyles of the people in Siem Reap. We headed to the Floating Village which was known for an entire village of people living on boats by itself. As a matter of fact, it was their way of life to bath, cook, wash and do whatever it is on the river (ongoing lake) itself. Let's just say, it was a very poor village and hygiene was not really a priority. But it was a good exposure to see how other people lived in a different enviroment.

Our Tuk2 journey to the jetty. These are wooden houses on stilts across the river.

Washing dishes... and they bath in them too...

This is their kedai runcit.
An elementary school..... floating one at that...
Believe it or not, this is a basketball court.... a FLOATING basketball court....haha.
An amazing floating church
This is what they call 'pindah rumah'. Hahaha, the house is towed by another boat....So it's pretty nice la. If you're sick of the enviroment you're living in, you can always change the scenary.

I love this!!! LOL~! This is how children 'travel' from boat/house to another. In a little tub...haha. Cute?? LOL!
Caught this little fella with a snake...hehehe...
O the cuteness of him! :)
I loved every moment of it! It was so soft and delicate!
Crocodile park....hehehe...

Floating Village.... and this is ony a fraction... It's much bigger and longer...

What is seen here is Tonle Sap Lake! The river is connected to the Lake which happends to be the largest lake in South East Asia? Or Asia itself? (Cant remember)

After that, as we returned, we saw this little fella riding a bicycle. What's so special is that he is not sitting on the seat but behind it. Tehee... guess he wasn't 'tall' enough.

After that... it was all shopping again.... Don't you just love the stuffs and COLOURS??!!


Love the colours!
I found this little lad walking around with no pants, hehe. He's so cute la. He seemed so absorbed by his drink.

This is our ever friendly host who took care of us at the guest house.


So after the visit to the floating village, tonle sap lake and shopping, we balik to the guest house to pack and have lunch before we embarked on our 6 hour bus ride to Phnom Penh (capital city of Cambodia). Yes, 6 hours! We didn't take the plane because my dad thought it was best to view the country side of Cambodia through the bus, but it was a bad idea. Hahaha, the double decker coach wasn't really a joy ride. It was freaking hot despite the air conditioner and the driver honked like his life depended on it. Hahaha... yes, honking is a very common trade on the roads of Cambodia. So guess what, I couldn't sleep at all but 'suffered' for 6 hours sitting in an 'oven' of noise all the way to Phnom Penh!!! No pictures though cause I was too restless to even hold the camera till the next day...

Hehehe... so that's all folks...

Upcoming will be on day 4.

So till then, have a nice day and God bless!
