Just around the corner for the market in Kampong Chhnang there is a river. We learned that there is an entire community of people who live on the river in floating houses.
Most of these folks are very poor Vietnamese families who couldn't afford land... so they build houses on the water. Very resourceful.
The problem is that there is a lot of pollution now. We watched folks in their boats coming back and forth from the town and walking around carrying goods on large hats on top of their heads. I wonder how you learn to do that and have such wonderful balance???
The stench here left a few things to be desired, but its a bustling place with lots of people around.
