Continuously, we cycle through the local farmland where the farmers grow some mangos, bananas, lemongrass, papayas, corn and other vegetables farm as long as we cycle through the Khmer local villages. After we bike through the farms and have a short break to enjoy Khmer local deserts or fruits, we will visit a sedge weaving workshop where they make by hand and part of the local income besides farming and fishing.
