Walking Neighborhoods

Well, in this case I was also riding
At my homestay, I rented the family bicycle and made a loop around the island, over about two hours |
|
|
This dirt lane rings the island, with the river on one side, and houses along the other side |
|
|
Many of the houses are much like the homestay On stilts, with a large open space on the main floor |
|
|
Hammocks and work areas on ground floor
Here, a little more elegance than the typical house |
|
|
Mass-produced pillars waiting to be put to use |
|
|
Just a few doors down from the homestay, I met No, Sambai, and Rei They waved me in from the road |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and their friend, Sea
Sorry you're so fuzzy, Sea |
|
|
|
|
|
And as always, the kids |
|
|
While out in the river, a floating community |
|
|
Looks inviting and comfortable, no? |
|
|
On the other side of the island, looking back at Kratie |
|
|
And another family saw me and invited me in Meet Thida, Visa, and the mother with no name (that's what they said) |
|
|
Cycling along, I come across this rice-grinding plant |
|
|
Like so much of what happens in poor countries in warm climates, everything is outside |
|
|
And the family was most friendly, and delighted to be photographed |
|
|
|
|
Across the road from the homestay, kids doing what kids do |
|
|
|
|
A pretty simple distribution system
Kerosene? Not sure |
|
|
I came across this woman, working in bamboo |
|
|
|
|
|
|
for what will eventually be a product similar to this |
