Life in Cambodia!

Home on Cambodia's Tonle Sap River. That's it...this is home for them!


The local corner store...on the river. Imagine doing business like this, everyday! Tonle Sap River, Cambodia.

A carpet of dried shrimp, in the middle of the street; this batch will feed the community. Upon our arrival, my sister was the first one to "enter" town. Busy looking at the homes on stilts, she walked right onto their food supply. A smiling Cambodian man, yelled and pointed down while make an eating motion with his hands. He smiled again as my sister hustled in a backward walk, after crushing a bit of their shrimp supply. It was a tad funny after the fact, but she felt bad. No one steals from the supply which is left to dry in the sun.


City on stilts, hand tied together; during the rainy season, the water will rise to the base of those homes, then the people live in boats until the water level drops again. That little girl, on the bottom right of the screen, will not be walking there when the rain comes. The water will rise to four times her height, right where she stands.
