Previously…<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the last places we visit in Cambodia is one of the most amazing places in the world. We go to Tonle Sap<\/a> which is the largest lake in Southeast Asia. Tonle Sap flows into the Mekong Delta for part of the year, but when the waters of the Mekong, coming from as far away as Tibet, rise in the spring, the flow of water reverses as the Mekong Delta overflows back north into Tonle Sap. The area of the lake in dry season is 2,700 square kilometers. During the rainy season, from June to October, its area increases and gets up to 16,000 square kilometers! This shifting of currents, bringing fish up from the Mekong Delta to the lake provides enormous numbers of fish and those fish account for 60% of Cambodia’s protein intake.<\/p>\n

The homes around the lake and on the lake are small and virtually unfurnished. Some are up on stilts to prevent them from being flooded. Other people move their homes on trucks to other areas before the waters rise. This is possible because their construction is light and simple.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of homes:<\/p>\n

\"Home

Home on Tonle Sap<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Notice

Notice contents of home: clothing and a TV<\/p><\/div>\n

Of course some people choose to live on the lake in houseboats and the schools too are located on boats.<\/p>\n

\"Children

Children in the basketball court at their school<\/p><\/div>\n

There are grocery stores that are on boats too.<\/p>\n\"The\n

For those who would prefer home delivery, there are also boats that sell fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n

\"Service

Service to your door<\/p><\/div>\n

Life on the lake seems to be pleasant for this child who was just about to go swimming.<\/p>\n

\"Anyone

Anyone want to join me?<\/p><\/div>\n

We travel on the lake in a motorized boat. Of course, on this trip, nothing was predictable, so it almost didn’t surprise us when the engine gave out and we were sitting stuck on the lake. The weather was lovely. The sun was just starting to descend giving a golden glow to the water. There were other boats. No one panicked. Eventually, after trying to start the motor a large number of times, the young boy who was assisting the pilot waved down another boat of the same type, threw a rope to them, and tied us to the other boat. We then were towed most of the way to the dock with the engine finally starting as we arrived there. After all, we had had days with no adventure. It was time.<\/p>\n

Our travelers were a wonderful group and we all left the lake having had an enjoyable time. What they didn’t know was what was in store for them in the evening. Next time: two fabulous evenings in Siem Reap. You won’t want to miss them. Once you see them, you will sign up for our next tour! <\/p>\n
