Tonlé Sap is the largest lake in Cambodia - and the source of 90% of the fish protein consumed here. It actually changes direction twice a year as the Mekong floods. We took a boat down the Tonlé Sap to Phnom Phen


Vietnamese village : There is a sizable ethnic Vietnamese minority in Cambodia, and most of them live along the Tonlé Sap river where they work as fisher-folk. (Cambodia, The Travel Addicts)

Sun dried chilis : In the rest of the third world you see peasants drying food (rice, coffee, etc) on roadbeds, as they are convienently flat and clear of vegetation. Here there is no road, so a barge will do. (Cambodia, The Travel Addicts)
