Floating Islands

The most amazing thing you have ever ever seen!
They start by planting a few reeds in a meter of soil, then that's it.....can you believe it. Cut up reeds, and spread them across in one direction and the next month repeat the process in another direction. Am so wowed over by the skills this country has.
If a family wants to move, they simply pick up their house and move to another island. Or cut the island. They have a school, a centre island, where there are shops and a phone.
They all work together, growing potatoes, having ducks, hens, rabbits, and swop items instead of using money. Great hey. Imagine. Maybe a haircut could pay for a months rent. Who would fall for that!
The ducks even have a little pond....
