This morning, we woke up early to get ready to travel by oxcart! Each oxcart could host two people, and we went for a ride in the countryside to visit the rice fields. We learned a lot about rice production and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Everyone will remember these moments!
After this experience, we went to visit the Green school where we had great fun singing and playing with the kids. They came up to practice their English with us and it was really rewarding.
Back on board Jahan, the staff showed us the Cambodian traditional fashion for weddings and the thousand ways to use and tie a Kroma, the traditional piece of check fabric they all carry around. In the afternoon we went with three-benched tuk-tuks to visit a potter. It was incredible to see her shape a huge pot in no time just by hand. We also learned about palm sugar, one of the most famous local products which comes from the national tree of Cambodia, the palm tree. It was very impressive to see the height of the tree and the ease with which the farmer climbed it in no time. Last but not least, everywhere we went we were greeted by kids and adults with beautiful smiles.
