Well, I thought I would take this time to give everyone a look into the Cambodian culture. I would explain it, but this video does a better job, so... enjoy! Also, this year, there are no boat races, due to flooding and mourning the death of the King Father.
Our Khmer teacher also explained that, in the provinces, the people gather together a lot of fruit and vegetables and pile them up. Then in the evening, they all feast on the pile. There is also a ceremony of candles, in which the people stick them to a board, and flip them upside down. Each candle represents a different province, and the dripping wax represents how much rain each province will get. Our Khmer teacher said that it is just for fun. I couldn't find a video of this, however. Just a taste of the culture of Cambodia!
