The Floating Village

The last place that we went to go visit from Seim Reap was out to the floating village. The floating village is out on Tonle Sap. Each year at the end of monsoon season (it typically ends in November) Tonle Sap has gotten four times bigger than it's original size. In order to not be uprooted every time the water they just created a village that floats in and out with the tide. Houses are made out of boats as are the stores and school. It was kind of interesting to see. We took a tour boat down the river out to the Tonle Sap. We stopped at a couple of shops. At one of the shops they had some crocodiles for us to see. They were a little scary, but I'm glad they were down below us.
