… Happy New Year.

Yes. We just celebrated the Cambodian New Year over the weekend, April 14-16 to be precise. It is a three-day celebration, according to the lunar calendar. It is also a celebration of the end of the harvest season. Hence, it is a colourful, festive and fun celebration.

This year, we welcomed New Year on the early hours of Saturday (2amish). Drumbeats and prayers from the wats (temples) ushered the New Year as well as the new Thevadas (see photo). In Buddhism, they are sort of angels, if you like, who’ve come to replace the old ones guarding the Earth.

Here in our neighbourhood, most residents have not returned yet from their New Year’s holiday.

We cherish the remaining quiet moments. Sooner or later, they will return. So will the noise and regular flurry of activities.

I just want to break my self-imposed blog hiatus to greet everyone a very happy new year. Today marks the beginning of the Cambodian new year, that is, the year 2556.
