Water Festival, November 2019

I love Water Festival in Cambodia. Pictures from earlier in November: Villages store wooden longboats in their local temple, and bring them out and practice for the big match in the capitol. (There are some regional races too.) We have religious holidays, national holidays. But this is particularly ‘ground up’ in many regards. It might be the most meritocratic of Khmer holidays. For me it’s not the races and boats; I love ‘people watching’. Young, old, rich, poor and the tiny middle class. In some ways it feels like a dream of the community Cambodia aspires to be. #Cambodia #WaterFestival #PhnomPenh

Facebook, Instagram make it easy to share video directly from your *phone*. It takes some additional effort for me to upload it here, so I am ‘embedding’ this post. No wonder blogging falls by the wayside….
