26 September 2007: Boat ride through the floating village to Tonle Sap lake.

The floating village has unsettling juxtaposition - children paddling in metal tubs beside massive floating restaurants, as well as run down floating platform houses boasting massive stereo equipment.

Currently the rainy season, drowned trees expose only thin branches tickling the air. Big wake from large boats send shock waves through the floating mangroves. The brown water recedes to a shore strip, barely allowing passage for people walking their motorcycles.

Tonle Sap lake is the largest lake in Southeast Asia. A truly un-earthly feel...

My favorite was the floating billiards bar. If you miss your shot, you can always jump up and down.
