Water Children

We hopped onto a tuk tuk and headed down a dusty road, zipping by houses on stilts, to search for the Floating Village. And after driving on a creaky boat for 20 minutes, we found it. True to its name, the people there lived on boats. It was a whole community that bobbed on the calm waters, raising pigs and ducks on buoyant pens, buying dinner ingredients from mobile supermarket canoes, passing Friday nights at the pool table hall, and going to class on school boats.


At the wheels (paddles? motor?)


Home sweet home.


Door to door supermarket. Fruits. Leafy greens. Fish of the Day.


That little boy loved his pink school bag. Flaunt the barbie pride bud.


Oh yeah. They raised crocodiles near their schools as well.


And yep. That's a python. Just playing with the baby.


Don't have a second boat at home?
 Just hop in a GIANT BOWL
 and grab a paddle (and a snake).
