we entered the tuk tuk. we drove for about half an hour. we got onto a boat. where were we going you might ask? we were going to the floating village.

this village was located in the middle of a lake where there were at least 100 boat houses. we saw people leaving there boat houses in smaller boats to go fishing. shan ton told me that fish were abundent here and that is why the people lived on the lake.
our boat stopped at what looked like a barge but was a resturant and some what a market. they sold wooden goods such as buddhas and scarves and bags.
this place was like a floating zoo. there was a monkey in a cage with a 7up bottle, fishes, a giant lizard, an enormous snake, and what seemed to be about 50 crocadiles.
i sat down with the rest of our group drinking my soda, and 3 vietnamese children rowed up on the side of the resturant in what looked like large washing buckets. they reached into their buckets and pulled out a live shrimp. with out a word of warning the child whipped the shrimp at ella. to his surprise, she whiped it right back. this resulted in a game of catch that looked more like dodge ball with shrimp.
we had to say good bye to these children as we left, i gave the rest of my soda to one of the children.
as we got back and started to walk to our tuk tuks the smell of the fish and fish sauce coming from the town was unbearable, so i went into an all out sprint for our tuk tuk. since we had the coolest tuk tuk driver of all, Mr. Hak, when he saw me running and jumping into the tuk tuk, he went as fast as he could. we left far before any one else. Mr. Hak rocks.
