Khmer New Year

                           
On Friday, we celebrated Khmer New Year which takes place on the full moon in April each year.  This mostly involved children running around with talcum power, like whole bottles of the stuff, and trying to spray it on you.

There were some games which all also seemed to include some element of powder or water.

After lunch, we had a dance party.  OK, it was mostly 1st and 2nd graders with their crazy barang teacher, but still, it was pretty awesome. 

Then, we played a game sort of like pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, but it was with a ceramic pot on a string with money inside.  I gave it a shot, and wildly pounded away at the air to the amusement of the children.
