Khmer New Year Party at the hotel

Food, games, food, prizes, food, fun.

I swear I love food and all but our staff really knows how to eat. I haven't seen the most voracious eaters like the pips here in the hotel. Noodles, spring rolls and vegetables piled on top of each other. Plus the fruits! hehehe This after having lunch.

I think they enjoyed it although I wished our GM could have seen how they eat. hehehe

Khmer New Year at Church

To celebrate Khmer New Year, the pips at church had some local talent showcase. We had the Apsara dance. Very interesting. Each hand movement has meaning. The body are articulated in exaggerated movements. Very interesting, indeed.

We had Khmer songs and other dances.

Brice and Cielo

Oh, they prepared Khmer food! Spring rolls, noodles, stew, etc.

Bahai New Year at Mario and Marpha

Happy New Year!

I bid goodbye to 2007 feeling icy but welcomed the first sunrise at Angkor Wat feeling optimistic that something majestic is in store for me in the coming days.

New Year Dinner

We had smoked salmon and other nibbles coz we wanted something light. We are all watching our diet. Our only concession was Fate's very rich fruit salad. So delicious! We had some bubbly, lit some sparklers which Coochie adored and this popping confetti thingy. Loven arranged the table which was 'cornucopic' to say the least. We used the ceramic pottery that I bought at Prolung Khmer. So nice...







Bubbly!

New Year Party at Pub Street and Linga Bar

I changed top before heading down Pub Street. So many people dancing and celebrating the new year. You can really feel the exciting energy of the revelry. In no time I was spinning and rocking my body to the heady sound of the DJ

We danced non-stop until 5am! Hehehe



Sunrise at Angkor Wat







Loven. Too bad Fate has to miss the sunrise because she still has work new year morning.









I saw a monkey

I scared him away

moi trying to be reflective at Angkor Wat.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
