Cambodia is an agricultural country, and people tend to sleep and rise early. Plus for decades staying out late was really not a wise choice. So it's a real blast to see huge numbers of people visiting the waterfront, out until the wee hours. Lots of people but no fights, no scenes, just the world's most well-behaved crowd milling around.
Some news coverage of the action:

Still plenty of photos, maybe I'll 'retroblog' them on the prior dates of the festival just to keep them in some kind of order.
