Hi lechua,

Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog about that first sunset in 2010. To answer your question: yes, we have a lot of deep red sunsets in Florida like I have photographed on my blog.:)

I’m glad I have found your blog, I have subscribed to you in RSS reader.

hi mei teng, yes i think the kompong and kampung are derived from the same root – although supposedly in khmer, kompong can also mean ‘port’ or ‘the side of the river’

Kompong means kampung? I am guessing it must be. Nice series on the kampung life over there. I love rustic scenes like these. The view looking out from the boat is very nice!

micki: the support poles look like wood to me… u may find more photos of the floating houses at an earlier post on Chong Khneas village

It is very interesting to see that their houses are built 10 m above the water. The foundation support poles are bamboo or wood? I assume they must be strong enough for the storm. The mobil floating house is also very interesting! Great post!
