Cambodia #23: - floating school

@ Tonle Sap lake, near Siem Reap

 

The Tonle Sap lake is a very interesting place to visit with floating villages, floating market, floating school, floating hospital and floating everything.

 

I was very impressed by the students of this school as they have not looked at us for more than 2 seconds and were all concentrated on their writing. It was a Vietnamese class, I was told by the teacher. I was surprised to learn that they have Vietnamese classes since Year 1 of primary school and they only start learning English from high school.

 

T: M6 + 35 Summilux @ F1.4, Kodak 400VC film - this shot was scanned with my Nikon and the two shots below were scanned by lab. They all look very good to me :-)
