content: Image staged by journalists/photographers who are too lazy to find actual poor people?  Cambodia is as 3. world as it gets. Garbage everywhere. I have even seen (and smelled)  Phnom Pen during a garbage workers strike. Unbelievable. If you go to a river bank (it's not a beach) to play, it will look like that. Rich or poor, the garbage is there. And yes, people live on boats, as they have always done. Is she really poor? Most people in Cambodia is, as the nasty communist regime destroyed everything. However, 3. world: that city have a high flying Rolls Royce dealership. My home town (Oslo) doesn't.
