People in Tonle Sap , Siem Reap , Cambodia

Siam Reap is Cambodia is another some country that i have visit during those 2 years solo travel. I have write a little bit about Cambodia in my previous post . Cambodia is very popular with all the temple and stupa that being build century ago. I still remember one of very popular movie by Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider has been record in Ta Prohm temple , Seam Reap.

Even though most of the people here practice Buddhism , but there is some majority people practice other religion like Muslim. So , you dont have to worry to come and visit Cambodia because you ll found a lot of restaurant serve halal food.

In on of my trip here, i have visiting Tonle Sap , Siem Reap. Since i was near a large lake , most of people in in Tonle Sap work as fisherman.

Some of them , still making house on the river. And only come to land selling fish that they get .

For what i can see , they still live in poverty. The environment is not clean and full of waste . The kid was playing around unmanaged .

Some picture around neighborhood :

Poverty is not just a small or third country problem . But we can find it everywhere. While poverty can highly lead to criminal. The only thing that can solve poverty problem is education . Second , is a help from the government to develop program for those people whose in need. But , it was very sad to know that when people got the power, education , and intelligence , some will become corrupt and those corruption lead for un ending poverty .

With this awareness , we heard many ASEAN country especially the youngster start fighting the corrupt government by making public awareness and demonstration. It is not easy to fight those who have money and power , but i believe they do that for future generation.

ABOUT THE TRAVEL

Few years back before pandemic , Im was lucky enough to travel solo in most places in ASEAN about 2 years . It was a full of good memory and great experience to learn the different culture, language and religion . I make a lot of new friend which has become my best buddy until now.

I going back to my country in Malaysia after my travel insurances was expired . When i come back to my home town , i share my experience in photography and taking picture for my fulltime job. The pandemic hit my country hard and all the photographer has no job until now , which give me much time to write about my travel journey in travelfeed.io for my documentation.

Previously i share my story in another community , but recently i realize that i should share my story in @asean.hive community which tell more story about ASEAN people and a lot picture to be share. I also allocated a little percent of every story beneficiaries to giving back for the community.
