As Paul Prewitt of Laguna Beach watched from the shores of Cambodia’s Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, a woman and her children floated by with this reptilian passenger. “I wasn’'t sure whether the kids were playing with their pet snake or with their dinner,” Prewitt said. He captured the scene on this lake, which is better known for its harvest of carp, with a Nikon D-70. (Photo: Paul Prewitt)Sunday, March 07, 2010

Girls holding the damn snake..yep!
The goverment should kick those people out from the lake. It's look dirty, it not look good for the turist people came to see it. Kick all ah Youn out from the deport them back to Srok YOun veng.
The true owner of Cambodia
these are yuon folks who migrated to cambodia after 1979. the snakes are for sale.
when you travel to places like cambodia, you will appreciate life more back in your homeland of america. in america, we take everything for granted, e.g. the freedom, the affluency, the abundance, the good life, the plentiful, the opportunity for education, etc, etc... when you travel and saw how people live in cambodia for example, you appreciate what you have more and appreciate the freedom, the education, the opportunity, the thing you have or have not, etc, etc... it really opened you eyes which is not always bad, really!
i know, since the KR era, cambodia seemed to change forever, even the way people live is so refugee-like, there's a mentality of flight and fight with most khmer people. people only think about survival more than anything. even since 30 years past, cambodia still recovering from the KR tragic. i think it will take the whole new generation of the population, the future generation to overcome it. in the future the new khmer generation will only hear from the history book and from their elderly, etc what had happened in cambodia. it goes to show life goes on on this planet, whether in cambodia or elsewhere, life does go on, really! there will only be history books to study from in the future. believe it or not, we are living in history everyday because once it's gone, it's history, you know!
I wonder if people had acquire a taste for the leeches? I mean, since they seem to eat everything insight - why not leeches?
These little girls and her mom (?) in this picture were not born during the khmer rouge. And the vietnamese boat people have lived this way of life for centuaries even before they migrated to tonle sap.
It is poverty that condemns these poor yuon and khmer folks to live the way they live. However, even these people may be poor and live in that condition, they may not have the same stress levels that middle and low-income people in the advanced countries do, especially during this economic recession. They have lived this way regardless of the fluctuation of global economy
It may be it's an iel not a snake.
សួថា៖ តើសំណេះសំណល់ផ្សេងៗ គេយកទៅចោលឯណា?
hey, did you ever watch the tv program on the food channel? that guy andrew zimmer i think that's his name, the guy would eat anything that other people eat in all corners of the world. i mean, he'll eat anything other culture or people would eat, really!
Just another day of the Cambodian poor. Yes, the kids are holding the snake. Tonight, they are going to have snake soup. I hate snake. Dang it. The Yuons in Cambodia love eating snakes. The Yuons eat so many snakes that their faces become snakey and the snakes think that the Yuons are snake people. Lol.
