Living on Water: Floating Villages
During my jaunt to Cambodia last month, when I was not hauling bricks to build an outdoor school kitchen with my studio, I had the chance to see a multitude of informal building in both urban and rural areas of the country. On one of our precious days off, we dashed off in tuk-tuks, motorbikes, and boats to explore the legendary floating villages on Cambodia’s Tonle Sap lake.

Tiffany your photo's are so good that I'm planning to consider exploring to Cambodia myself. Your descriptions were clear and made me want to know more. Thanks for posting. Maybe a thought - I'd like to see photo's of the project you were building while there as well.
Thanks, Patti! I would definitely recommend a trip if you have the time -- I really wish I had a couple more weeks to explore Phnom Penh and areas outside Siem Reap. As for the design-build project we were working on, you can see photos of the entire construction process here: http://cambodiabuild.tumblr.com/
