Tonle Sap Lake

[From my notebook]
Tonle Sap Lake – 150 km long and 50 km wide. Source of food for millions of people. Asia’s second largest lake. Home of the famous floating villages (that actually stand on stilts). And frankly boring – the lake proper anyhow. It’s a sight you can get quite easily in Seattle: water stretching on for ever. That said, the villages are amazing. Each hut is 2-3 x taller than I am, and that’s just the stilts. In the back of the huts, on the river, there are rows upon rows of fish and croc pens. When we were at Tonle Sap, we got to see a wedding. The dominant colors were pink, purple and peach. The bride and bridesmaids, and groom and best men, were in purple, with a huge number of pink and peach dresses scattered through the audience. We got to get a picture with the bride and groom. The music was far too loud.
