Day 3 (Part 2) - Tonle Sap (The Poor)

Ok. I am back from the Christmas break, and here is Part 2 of Day 3......

First of all, before Tonle Sap is the 60km journey from Beng Mealea back to town.

We saw baby pigs on motorbike!

Arent they cute? This is when I told Lyfath we wanna see more pigs and he brought us to his relative house. I guessed I have already posted pictures of Lyfath's piggies.

We visited Tonle Sap Lake after lunch. Tonle Sap is the second largest freshwater lake in the world (Hehe…. I read this from the book on the flight.)

Seeing Tonle Sap Lake really open my eyes. The Cambodia people are just so poor. Some of the houses are only the size of my bathroom and a family of 7 stay in that small tiny space. And amazingly, they still can have a pet dog!

Small huts along the lake that houses the whole family....

Small boat-house at the side of the lake....also houses the whole family...

A view inside one of the boat-house.....

A kid, on a pail, a mode of transport and fun....

This is where they get lights. Batteries that are sent in to be re-charged every week.

A floating market...

A floating church....

Our boat driver and his little brother....

As usual, we did not wait for the sunset, just want to avoid the crowd. Despite leaving early, we were still stuck in the jam on the way back to town. There we just too many big busses squeezing into the small road to Tonle Sap, full of Korean tourist, trying to catch the sunset. Having nothing to do, Liszu and Li Huan started singing in the car to a famous Cambodian song that we have heard over and over again....

"Calling you.....Nobody answer...."

"Calling you.....Nobody answer...."

"Calling you.....Nobody answer...."

Well, its the only English words in the song that we understand.....And it will be a song we will remember forever....(until now, I can still hear the song in my head!)

We reached town before the sunset, did some last shopping at the Old Market before we went back to the hotel to shower.

For dinner, we decided to try one of the restaurants in town. Food were again so-so (SATAY STILL THE BEST!). Why didnt I take pictures ....sigh.......

But liquor were VERY cheap..Draft beer for only USD0.50 and cocktail for USD3.00 (Buy 1 free 1 so its actually only USD1.50). We didn’t really drink that much as we still wanna try the 2 hours Body Massage.

Well, to the ladies, I DO NOT recommend the Body Massage at all. Foot Massage is good enough. For the men, I DO recommend the Body Massage. Hehe….

One more last day to go….to complete the Cambodia Trip….
