Welcome say in Khmer Word

Chom Reab Sour means Welcome in English. We do Chom Reab Sour to show our respect to other people. This is an important trandition for Cambodian. Young people need to do Chom Reab Sour to the old people. For the same age, we just say Sour Sdey when we meet each other. How we do Chom Reab Sour? It is simple task, just do like this........

Sour Sdey means Hello in English. Cambodia always use this word when we meet each others. In fact, Sour Sdey is a short word which is from Arun Sour Sdey, which we use in the mornining time, Sayon Sour Sdey, which we use in the evenning time, and Reatrey Sour Sdey, which we use at night time. Thus, we generally say only word Sour Sdey.

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.
