Life around the Tonlé Sap and Tonlé Thom Rivers (Mekong River) is tough. Simple...
But the character of the Cambodians is tougher, allowing them to live smiling and keeping their life flowing by a river that changes the flow twice a year (goes downstream for 8 monhts, upstream for the rest of the year) and making the level of the river change from 1 meter deep at Tonlé Sap Lake to 9 meters deep after the rainy season.
