Sidelights of Cambodia
















These are pictures that only hint at the interesting diversity of parts of Cambodia. People from both pictures have to leave for several months during the monsoon season. The ones who live on the houseboats are apparently among those who are well-to-do financially because they can sell the fish, which they harvest in abundance. There are sharp contrast in the country between rich and poor. In Siem Reap, expensive condos are being built (and sold.) We didn't get to the national capital, which those in the outskirts dismiss as just another big city.

Cambodia seems the most interesting place you have visited. Bring plenty of pictures to share when you come back to dull, ordinary but so comfortable Florida.
