Rice Fields, Floating Village, Cooked Bugs

Close to the geographic middle of Cambodia, we arrived in Kampong Chhnang province on the Tonle Sap River just before breakfast. Lush and fertile rice farms dot the river banks with fishing boats and traps everywhere.

Another market, another test of the stomach...the smell of sautéed, crispy cock roaches and crickets, duck embryos steaming, flies on meat, sun dried fish for sale. Nom nom.
A very large floating river community reminded me of a quaint New England village. But what about the waste, I wondered?

Back on the AmaDara, we heard amplified religious chanting and music all along the river. It was another lazy afternoon cruising, sightseeing and learning stuff.
