arriving at siem reap at around 2 pm, arms and i had late lunch and settled in our room in bun kao guesthouse, before heading to our first destination - tonle sap. our tuktuk driver took us south of the city and got to the pier where we paid USD 15 for a big tourist boat.
i know from asian civilization that tonle sap is one of the major lifelines, if not the major, of cambodia, but i wondered how could its brown (ala teh tarik) water could support life. not much information could be given by our boatmen, so we just enjoyed looking at tonle sap's floating village, where most of the dwellers rely on fishing and tourism.
we were then taken to what seemed to be a floating restaurant in the middle of the lake. they sell various khmer items, while also being involved in crocodile farming. around 6 pm, we went back to the city center, where we had a nice modern khmer buffet dinner.
