    😍😍😍I love Cambodian Water Festival. This tradition dating to Angkor period. There will be a big crowd. I wish I was there. I miss my homeland. Cambodia have grown a lot after the collapse of Khmer Rouge in 1979. I survived Khmer Rouge regime. Cambodian will never forget the genocidal from 1975 to 1979. I'm living in the U.S. Peace to all of my fellow countrymen. So both of you, Claire and Jeremy are from Australia. I recognize your accents. Happy post Thanksgiving. I still have raw turkey at home. I don't know how to cook turkey. I can only see my present country through computer screen. I am waiting for your next videos. Peace!

    It's almost comical that for some reason in their attempt to share music, all that's broadcast is irritating noise.
    An unfortunate and common anomaly in developing countries throughout the world.
    The silver lining is that Khmer music was being played. 🤙

    Is there something going on in Cambodia with airfare. I was looking at airfare to Cambodia from different cities in se Asia and it is excessively high in fact it is cheaper to fly from Bangkok to Vietnam than Cambodia even though you have to fly over Cambodia to get to Vietnam. So I am looking at taking a flight to Bangkok and doing the long bus ride.
