In the afternoon we headed off to the
cultural village to daulane, or chill ou . The entrance fee to the
cultural village is $3 for foreigners but since I was in a car full of
Cambodians, I passed by as a local with no problem. It also helps that there is
a large population of Cambodian-Chinese in Phnom Penh area so I easily passed
as one of them in most situations while I was there.
The cultural village is modeled loosely on the traditional floating villages, with individual shacks built over a lake. There's an on-site cater which we can order food to be brought to our shacks or we can just simply wait until the boat vendors come to sell fresh and hot food. You can buy all kind of snacks such as shrimp crackers, fruits,
grilled fish, fried snails, and dried clams Most of the snacks are cooked on spot on the boat!
Parties usually come to just chill out and enjoy the view of the lake but they also lend out life jackets and floating devices to play around in the water. There's also boat taxis as well as pedal boats for rental too. It was a good time to chill out and relax before we made the chaotic move to Phnom Penh again!
