After entering Cambodia (where it was HOT) we stopped by Tonlé Sap Lake to visit the floating Village of Kampong Luong. Unique and picturesque, this village of 1000 homes moves in it’s entirety to other parts of the lake 3 times a year depending on the water level. The people subsist by fishing. There are floating stores that sell supplies but, of course, there is constant boat traffic carrying the villagers to the near by town. There is no electricity but some people have solar panels, or batteries or generators. All drinking water is bottled and there is a water boat that goes makes the rounds.
As you can see, Blue is a very popular color for the boat people, a color that signifies good luck in Cambodia.
