School in Seam Reap

During my visit to Cambodia, I have visited a primary school near the hotel that we stayed. The condition of school is really bad. There is no electricity supply so the students have to study in the dark during rainy day. There is no proper canteen too. We only found a few ugly stalls and a few benches there. If it is raining, then there is no place for the students to eat. There is no grass or any tar road in the school so it is very dusty. Many of them also don't have proper school shoes. They just wear slippers. For those who wear slippers, they must take off the shoes before going into the classroom. The most interesting thing is one of the teacher brought his baby along when teaching.

Tonle Sap

Tonle Sap is the biggest fresh water lake in Cambodia and Asia. It is about 215km in length and start from Seam Reap Province to Phnom Penh. There are many people stay on this lake and many of them are fisherman. They stays on their boat and do everything on it. As there is no water supply, the people here use the water from the lake to cook, bathe and wash. The school is also located on the boat. For the food supply, they even have floating market such as groceries boat and vegetables boat. Many of them have to stay in dark after sunset as there is no electricity supply too. For the rich one, they have generator but for the poor one they have to depend on candles. The lake is quite busy because there are many tourist boat visit the floating village. According to the tourist guide the depth of the lake is about 15m in wet session.
