Last year in September, there was a big flood in Siem Reap. It was my first week in Siem Reap and I could not go anywhere. We had heavy raining days and flood this month again. In the morning, when I was about to leave home, I saw the river in front of the house. I tried to ride my bicycle, but it was impossible and dangerous. I gave up riding my bicycle and took 30 minutes to walk to my work place. Although, children are happy with it. They were catching fishes, swimming, riding a boat. They are brave!!
昨年９月も大きな洪水がありましたが、今年も川が氾濫するほどの大きな雷雨、洪水が起きてしまいました。朝外に出かけようとしたら、家の前が川、他の道も一面の水浸し。膝ほどまでの水が溜まってしまって、自転車をこぐのも危険なので、いつもは５分とかからない道のりを３０分もかかって歩いて行きました。こんな状況でも子ども達に取っては、楽しい経験で、魚を探す子たち、樽をボートにして遊ぶ子、もちろん泳ぐ子達もいて、子ども達の元気な笑い声が響き渡っていました。
