Tonle Sap at Siem Reap

Now we're moving on to my 2nd day at Siem Reap, Cambodia

there were 3 previous post on Angkor Wat at here, here and here

and now I've finally got time to blog on the 2nd day HAHA

as I've been rather busy finishing up my reports and assignments

as my finals for my diploma are in a months time

DAMNIT!

anyways so for the 2nd day

we headed down to Tonle Sap

if you don't know what it is, it is the

biggest freshwater lake in South East Asia

and even though i went there during the dry season

water was still at a high level

and i was able to take a boat ride around the lake

It costed 15 USD per person for a private boat

For those interested, a Ferry would cost cheaper perhaps =)

so we hopped on to the boat and was able to see how the locals

lived their lives near the water

and also We were able to see life on "boat houses"

so i shall move on with the pictures:

On ze boat

A boat house

A floating Basketball court & Volleyball court!

imagine all you have to do is just swim there and play!

there wont be warm-ups needed as you've already swam! LOL

The kindergarden

The Fish & Crocodile Farm

We were able to visit the Fish & Crocodile Farm

during the boat ride

and man i wish i could have taken photos of the fishes as they was HUGE!

but sadly my camera failed me at that time =(

If you didn't know

Crocodiles are rared widely in Cambodia for their skins

as there are a lot of leather products in Cambodia

and as for the fish...Everyone eats fish! LOL

Crocodiles at the farm

Yellow Tongues!

Fishing by the traditional method

I find this sign funny!

Fish traps on sale

So as we headed back to the mainland

Our tuk tuk driver was waiting for us

and we headed back to town

We stopped by for some Chinese-Cambodian Food

at the town and it was DELICIOUS for a small price of 1.50 USD or 2 USD!

one of the scenaries i took on the way back

Dumplings

Pork noodles

Pork Soup Noodle!

thats all for this post

shall update on the last day soon =)
