Weddings everywhere. You hear the gongs and music that accompany the various rites in the Cambodian wedding.
Weddings are supposed to be 3-day events given 3 as an auspicious number. |

Mark your calendar for 2011. It will be on November 9-12. Bon Om Teuk or the Water and Full Moon Festival is again highly successful this 2010 with 420 boats participating in the long boat race and between 3-4 million people attending the event. The lantern parade and fireworks are spectacular. In the evening, the streets are full and people just lay down their mats in the park, cook their food there and sleep to the noise of the band playing on stage.
