Photos of Floating Villages and Bamboo Trains around Pursat

The floating villages near Pursat were photogenic (although full of pollution), but we expected more from the bamboo trains.

 

Some NGO came in and made this form. Unfortunately, the locals don't take you in to these places, so you can do Group 1 and 2 in less than an hour

so much pollution in the water that our boat driver had to clear the propeller several times

 

driving away with the ice… this boat also is bailing itself.

I'm not sure why this roof was covered with these circular wires… All lightening rods?
