Tonle Sap is a large freshwater lake in Cambodia. It is the pride of a country a little smaller than Angkor. This lake is remarkable not only because it is large and fresh and changes its size by 4 in the rainy season, but mainly because people live here. They live right on the lake in boat houses. It so happened that poor people who do not have money for a piece of land do not have the right to build a house on this land. And they found such a way out - to live on the lake. There are schools, and kindergartens, and churches, and temples and shops - a whole city on the water. Residents use the resources of the lake to the maximum. The lake provides them with food and water. Here they bathe and even raise cattle. If we talk about excursions to this place, it should be noted that you will be driven around the lake in very old boats, and local boys will pester you right on the boat with a massage in an attempt to earn money. They won't give up until they get theirs.
