The previous 2 or 3 days it was raining a little in Siem Reap - hence the river overflowing and some streets flooded in city. Outside city, like here on the picture, the rice fields are overflowing. Nothing special - just normal rainy season in Cambodia.
Khmer people are smart and have adapted since very long their houses to be on stilts. City people here ... that's a different story. May be lacking fresh air and physical work and thus brain sometimes milky. Houses in cities are western style and hence a few hundred houses in Siem Reap along river are flooded. Means up to thousands of dollars damage per house. In other province we have some "flooding" as well these past many weeks. None of the real Khmer houses affected.
May be we all should spend less years at school and more years in real life to have more time to learn traditional ways of living and real life topics!
