May be simple but may be more happy than you ... Because no one envies these people in the floating village. no rich ones want to take their home or property away. most of them own their "property". Hence these people may be "poor" when compared financially with your situation or millions of others. But can millions of others say to "own" a HOME no matter how big or small? Most have their home owned by the bank which financed the oversized home.
The floating village on Tonle sap has an old tradition.
