Happy Chinese New Year!

Hey everyone, it is Chinese New Year, and in Cambodia, that is a big deal. In Phnom Penh, Chinese New Year represents a time to appease those that have passed and enhance your own Karma. The people have fires all over the place, and they burn money and toy cars, and even small doll houses, in order to pass them on to their relatives... While Kelsi and I were out today, we started seeing the fires all over the place, so we decided to video for five minute and see how many we could spot. Of course, as soon as we started the camera, they all disappeared--except for the twelve that we spotted. I through in a Khmer song entitled "Chinese New Year: Khmer Version." I say it in the video, but enjoy a tuk tuk ride with the Bergens, and enjoy the sweet sounds of Cambodia (and be grateful for not having the smells or heat ;) I apologize for the shakiness of the video... I filmed it in the back of a tuk tuk, and those babies don't have shocks! Enjoy! :)



BecuaseHeLives,
Micah and Kelsi :)
