Out on a lake- Basak

Basak is a small lake in the middle of Phenom Phen. A charming little place where Mr. Phung and titten lived in a nice hostel with view over the lake. One day did they go out in a boat on the lake with some kids. Fun, but smelly, and Titten was happy when he was back without been out in the water.


Out in the boat day one

The next day we went with the children to their extra English school on the other side of the lake. A poor, poor slum area with many nice hospital people.


Out in the boat day two on the way to the slum


People in the slum sharing what they have with us, bad whisky mixed with bad water, luckily does the whisky kill most of the bacterias.


Pictures from the class. Some more people turned up, but not good to be late for a 20 minutes class, see picture below. We stayed half of the twenty minutes class (yes, just 20 minutes), if we really had believed the children that it only lasted for 20 minutes we would probably stayed the whole.



Most children fancy Titten, but this girl turned out to be really scared, sh had probably not seen a white man in her life before.

On the way back we managed to get an old dude to take us in his boat. It took i water and a storm was close to start. Mr Phung and Titten was afraid of falling out in the lake or sewer. One of the boys came after us since the class lasted a little shorter than we expected nd Mr. Phung climbed over in his boat. It could have saved us from a dirty and smelly faith......
