Two pigs on a lake

There are floating villages on the biggest lake in Cambodia. The people really live their lives on the lake: there are schools, shops, temples. As the lake swells - enormously - during the wet season they move to new waters. 

By chance we found a great book shop today. They also sold some cd's with Cambodian music. We wanted to buy one or two, but as we had no idea what the music would sound like we asked if we could listen. They got a bit bewildered as they had no listening equipment but after a short consultation in khmer among the staff they asked us to follow one of them out of the store. We ended up in the back alley where the shop owner had his office and his computer on which he let us listen to the music. That's what I call client service!

We had a slight temple fatigue yesterday, so today it was nice just to relax, and to shop a little. We walked by a shop that sold Buddha heads painted in fluorescent colours. I loved them! And of course bought one. But back to less materialistic things: the greatest temple we saw (apart from Angkor Wat) was also the oldest one, more than 1000 years, and with the most gorgeous carvings very well preserved.
