Khmer New Year

Khmer New Year is the 15th of this month. Many Cambodians travel to the province where they have relatives to spend the week there. I have the week off from my university class as well as from tutoring. I am not sure what I will be doing - Rachael and I may just hang out at the house most of the time. Some of my Khmer friends are not going to the province so I hope to be able to spend some time with them. On the 15th I will avoid going to Wat Phnom because I hear that they through powder and water - we would call this paste! Does not sound too fun to me. I guess for those in the city it is a big thing to watch tv because they show traditional celebrations of Khmer New Year on the tv.
