These days, all Cambodians all over the world are preparing themselfs for a three day new year holiday. It is a very important holiday for Cambodian’s. It starts this Saterday and lasts three days. Phnom Penh will become an almost deserted city. The area around Psar Thmei and the new Soriya shopping mall will be down during these three days.

As is the new year’s tradition, everyone will be driving up and down the riverfront road, dousing each other with water.

We here in Europe are heading to Paris (next time Phnom Penh?). Located near the ‘Bois de Vincennes’, there is a Bouddha temple. Cambodians gather together for praying, making music, eating, talking,… And the weather forecasts are promising for this WE.

Happy New Year!
