Cambodia: the Tonle Sap floating village.

The Tonle Sap is a river/lake system that's a little unusual – the river flows in one direction half the year and in the other direction the other half. Depending on the time of the year, the lake is either pretty small or large enough to be considered Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake. There's at least one floating village on the lake, a community of mostly Vietnamese. You can see boats going through with produce – a moving grocery store. We went by what seemed to be the party houseboat, with music blasting. I think one of the houseboats might have even had a TV, thanks to a generator and a satellite.
