As we drove to the water village we tasted a quite yummy water lilly pod. I asked our driver what motivates these people build their homes over the water. He told me that it is because its free, they don't have to deal with waste (since it just goes into the water) and they are fisherman so it is easy access to the water. The government is making homes for the people who live here. Because of the sanitary reasons, they do not want them living over the water. Just a little ways from the water I was shocked to see subdivisions. I certainly did not expect to see that in Malaysia!
