This just in: Cambodia’s a pretty wet country…
The mighty Tonle Sap disects the country, and in the central north region of Cambodia – around Siem Reap – the Tonle Sap Lake bursts its banks every year during the wet season, turning the flood plains into a giant extension of itself. During this time, the 4000 villagers who live on the floodplain move from rice farming to fishing, but apart from moving their cattle to higher ground, remain living in their stilt homes – accessible by boat only. They’ve also turned their unusual circumstances into a tourist destination. We were among those tourists.
Hi Jen, I have been following your sojourns in the east and I am loving it. You are doing a great job and your beautiful writing about your cause makes for even more excitement. Well done
Rams, thank you my friend. I have thought of you often during this trip – particularly here in India. Perhaps we will one day soon realise our dream of meeting up again to travel and together do good things.
I am not going to the afterlife before you and I hook up again and go do some exciting work somewhere on this earth.
