early morning and don't return until late afternoon. By the time they return, most of the village
women will be waiting for them on the river bank. They wait to buy the fish, which they will later
sell at the local market or bring to the nearby town for a higher price. We children will be there too.
We love running around the beach and waiting for the boats to come in.
Our most important festival of the year is the Chol Chnam Thmay, which celebrates the New Year.
