The Floating Village

Now this is a travel page that talks about the floating villages in Siem Reap, Cambodia. And quite frankly it makes me very angry. I went to the floating village of Chong Kneas. Yes it is a scam and actually my family was given fake change back that we later found out at a restaurant. But the reason why this travel page upsets me so much is because it could deter anyone from going to see that village. I believe that people need to see that part of the village because it houses some of the poorest people in the world. The other villages which are beautiful and nice and plush will not show you culture, or show you the reality of the countries despair which news flash is a government that would rather scam its citizens out of money than help them. You need to see that the children their are suffering. You need to see that the government is making profits off of its citizens poverty. But sure go to the other villages and only see what you want to see because real life is too hard for you.
