Today was the CCH photo class. We went to Koh Dait an island in the Mekong. The people there cannot grow rice as the island is too small but make a living on silk weaving and growing other crops like corn. Thou (our general Cambodian "fixer") took the party of 7 of us in a tuk tuk to the ferry - about 15km out of Phnom Penh. After a short wait and ferry ride we landed safely - we did have to share the boat with a disturbed cow...
The island was beautiful. Very lush and green and the people exceptionally friendly. Lots of children very excited to have their picture taken. Also a large proportion of older people (in their 70s at least) which you do not see in Phnom Penh.
Here are some pictures of mine. The children's are on
