Tonle of aquatic life

I did not get too dry season Tonle, do not know the village in the absence of water when we land as habitual life ...

But in the rainy season reaches you think everything is covered, but floating life.

In Cambodia, Siem Reap travel, your time is best not to drive it, when you access Angkor three days valid ticket use after you don't hurry to leave.

Looking for a fine day, you can go to the South of the ancient city of Siem Reap is located around. Siem Reap is a very casual small cities, you even went a bit too believe she is Cambodia's political economy in the Northwest of the Centre. You'd better not bother to figure out what kind of transport, on foot, no matter where you live, you will not be too far away from the old town.

You can along the Siem Reap River walk to the River, running through some temples and many sleepers, they are war-era veterans.

War chaos times from Cambodia or the not too distant memories, also good in this country have begun to reveal her vitality.

The ancient city is living large complex meeting, cowhide do shadow play seemed expensive that you buy in small stalls some Cambodians men indispensable little xige fabric and silk scarves OK (Chinese people to buy silk? is that their silk texture and our less the same.

) And then you can find a place in the open air restaurant, called a spring rolls a fish, lazy lunches, wait until the Sun is not so strong, you in the street just intercepted a motorcycle on four wheels Tuk-Tuk, tell him that you want to go to Tonle floating village of Viet Nam.

He is happily agreed.

All the way to the South, almost the entire way along the Siem Reap River in overflowing, roadside play kid bare black body. Water cottage houses make you feel, you ask the bus driver to stop, you want to take pictures, those children, eager to jump into your lens, you are brought to the screen makes surprise addition to frequently press shutter you don't know what to do, in fact you don't need to do.

Tonle.

The vast waters, a street go straight into the water, waterfront are two rows of bamboo House, the walls are empty, more like the family water play rooms. Because almost every such alcove hangs a lot hammock-Cambodians is so beloved hammock on life. You can imagine, in the dry season, the House is in the water, the rainy season, he left the road. Looking ahead, the water you see some of the roof of the House, there are trees of tree tip, aquatics General; you seem in Hotel photos on the wall, know that I have ever seen in those tree trunks not completely submerged in a year, you can make a boat to explore the jungle on the water, but this year too much rain, boats around the tree top walk.

Tuk-Tuk always take you through the desolate wasteland of the water, to a small town, where you can rent a boat – I want to go out in the morning when you did not forget to bring a bathing suit.

5, good, good, just in time to watch the sunset on the Lake.

You enter the village community.

Here the "Viet Nam" floating village, in fact it is famous for its two parts, part of Viet Nam village (well, women are wearing the rounded cap of Spire), part of the Cambodian people village, each language. The ship travels at the Lake, you see a store, do you see a hospital, you see the post office, do you see uniformed children from school is out, what do you see a rural families in washing, cooking, together ... Them from here to there, of course, is the use of the ship, so many boats coming in around you, that give you increasing the difficulty of taking photos, because whenever a ship had aroused waves down your boat with a volt, even if you have called your boatman to slow down.

You have been a bit overwhelmed.

The fisherman is pointed at the front asked do you want to visit the Museum of freshwater fish, you can't figure out what it is. Boatman says you can see floating village history and fish ponds techniques, there are many different kinds of fish and animals can visit. You said not delay to enjoy the sunset, you can go.

Your boat out of the village, to the Lake.

Soon around can't see anything, except the horizon that round Ying pretty Lake red gold. Clouds in the sky rollover, Lake near me, but you only see the silence. Even the fisherman is also silent, although his eyes encourages you to jump off.

Rainy Lake and how can this like? results you find yourself or forget to bring your bathing suit.

You want and jump down clothing, companion to hesitate, you said that "life once you jump jump?" so you can peer said his coat off, so do not be too cold to go ashore, anyway, life time, the fisherman is not a storm in a teacup?

The boatmen, is seen much? they look like very far away from you, on the other end of the Red sunset ...

I think if you select dry season comes, you'll be in my boat and swimming in the Lake.
