The village homes are much different from the homes in the "city". The village homes are more rustic, and are made from plam leaves!! Many people live in these tee-tiny one room dwellings. The average "village woman" has SIX children. The siblings take good care of each other. It is quite common to see a 5 or 6 year old carrying a baby brother or sister! Amazing to me!!!
It is the rainy season in Cambodia now. Most of the land in the village is flooded. When people want to get out of the house, they have to wade through the water to get to the road.
Of course there is no running water, no bathrooms, no showers, no electricity! CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE???!!!
Some homes have a well, where they get water to drink, cook with, and to bathe with. Most Cambodians boil the well water before drinking, but some don't..... How do they boil the water? They use wood and start a fire and put the pot on top of the fire! (I'm not sure how they start the fire....will find out!)
