Tonle Sap Outside Siem Reap October 2010

I finally made it to Tonle Sap on this trip and after heavy rains, the lake was up and life on the lake was in full swing. Living on the lake must have its own set of challenges. Seeing the ladies handle their boats with a stick and a smile, made be believe that these women were definitely in charge of the waterways as well as their homes. Hauling vegetables and fruit home along with the wood for cooking on their huge wok-like "barbeque" appeared to be hard work. More than one woman was observed doing this task, which made me wonder, where were the men?
