day 57... upriver to cambodia



boats, boats, and more boats
even the houses are boats
such is life in the floating village
where baths, dishes, and laundry are all done
on your doorstep
and dinner is caught under your floorboards
heck some people never leave for land
while others go only to sell their goods
meanwhile we make pace for cambodia

and all our friends come out to wish us farewell.
goodbye vietnam
hello cambodia.
please enter customs afloat
after LOTS of paperwork we're shuffled off to passport control
where passports are CAREFULLY scanned by 5 men with a playstation2.
fingerprints and retinal scans be damned
3 rubber stamps down
and 6 more hours to go
yet the monotony could not bring down our chain smoking captain

international ferry stop... somewhere in cambodia
