Water Festival days

Water festival is one of the biggest festivals in Cambodia. Normally, Cambodians celebrate this festival in three days, this year 23th 24th 25th November 2007. Of course, Phnom Pehn city is the place that we celebrate it. A lot of people come to Phnom Penh to watch boat race, concerts bratib(Khmer word) and buy some products. Wow!!! you know, I think over two million people visited Phnom Phnom in this year.

You know, coconut and banana are the common fruits for using in this event. Sometimes, we eat banana with Ambok(khmer word) or coconut with Ambok. Especially, in the second day of this festival, we do not sleep till midnight because we wait to eat Ambok with banana under the full moon and firework.

Hey, I can not tell you all.... You can come to visite Cambodia and try to learn from us. Here, These are some pictures from water festival.
