I'm on a boat!

Today, we traveled for 6 hours by "speed boat."  Our ride took us from Phnom Penh City to Siem Reap.  The experience was quite different from the airport arrival just a fee days ago.  The boat traveled at around 40mph.  There was seating inside or on the roof.  Once outside of the boat there was nothing to keep you on except for your own balance and strength.  
Siem Reap is an area of mixed lifestyles.  The water front holds residencies of floating villages and slum huts.  The stench of rotted garbage is so powerful you can barely breathe.  As we traveled to our hotel we saw houses up on stilts and lavish palace-like homes built above the levy.  The separation of the classes couldn't be more obvious.

At the market, they cater to tourists, seeking goods and food that are both authentic and surprising.
