Apocalypse Now With A Shopping Center





Yes, there really is a Jacqui.  


The children are so beautiful.


A lot of the people wrap their heads in this type of scarf - it's somewhat the "national scarf of Cambodia".




Washing the dishes.

After a day of Angkor, Jacqui and l hired a boat to take us to the floating village.  The boat was exactly like the boats that cruised the river during the war (probably is one) and everyone in the village is Vietnamese.  They fled to Cambodia during the war and now they live on barges.  It's a mixture of beautiful, sad and a little eerie.  Everything is in the village - a temple, a school, floating pig pens, grocery stores, places to buy gasoline....even a full size basketball court!  It's all just floating.  And then we found a shopping barge and so we naturally had to start buying things.
