When we were in Phnom Penh, Linda and I went on a sunset cruise. In Phnom Penh, the river converges into the Mekong. The cruise was neat. You could drink beer and wine on it. The cruise cost $10 per person. The guide pointed out some sights, but with her thick accent and rapid speech it was really hard to understand her English. I understood her Cambodian better.
Along the river area there were people living in these tiny little boats. I found it hard to belive that a whole family could live on it. These boats made the smallest SF apartment look grand. There were also people living on floating homes on the river.
We saw these two floating homes that were way grander than anything else on the river. One of the house had a boat and two jet skis. Apparently, it was a garage for the house next door. The guide said that it was called a bungalow and it was available for renting. Sometimes, people would rent it just for parties.
It's a weird way of life on the river.
