LIVING BY THE CANALS

LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT

 A KING stays in his palace and I stay in my little township - I am happy, safe and comfortable in my home.

 Life by the canals may look unusual and difficult but I believe humans can live anywhere. We need a roof and walls to keep us safe from the elements.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.

  1. I am pretty certain that life by/on the canals would suit me better than a palace.
    Thanks for a look at this rich and vibrant life.

  2. We are all a product of our environment I suppose and what might make one happy would not suit another. Thank goodness there is a rich diversity of life styles to accommodate us all.

  3. wah menarik sekali kehidupan di sekitar kanal, ada pedagang hasil bumi dengan sampan atau kapal, mengingatkanku akan kota di Thailand Kak. Paling asyik lagi kalau misal ada pedagang jajanan snack tradisional, yummy! Tapi agak was was kalau pas musim ujan ya kak...Have a nice day Kak ^^

  4. I see that life is the same, only the transportation and conditions change. But as an outsider, it may seem different and difficult to live for us. Nice photos

  5. What a lovely post! Sometimes we need a peek into another person's beautiful lives to see what we need and what we don't. Thank you. ♥

  6. Love the photos. When I see photos like this - it reminds me that life is so beautiful all over the world. This type of living/life seems more connected to what's important, food, shelter, and ...I like this more than looking at big cities. Love how you can buy something right as you float by in a boat. Nice! i'm sure there is a lot of traffic in the citires but this here looks like my kind of ride.

  7. 3 times I visited the water village in Penang, Brunei and siam rep. Just amazed that they can keep the river clean .

    Especially in Siam Rep. The water is quite clean, buuuut the houses are so small 😣. Can't imagine that full of family staying in such little boat.
