It was the Water Festival today and we walked along the river and saw lots of boats. They were having a race and went really fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also saw a dunk tank and a boxing over water game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening we saw fireworks and then went to ‘Jungle Burger’ for pizza and delicious burgers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Note from parents: After having lunch in Siem Reap today we went down to the river as we were lucky enough to be there for the Cambodian Water Festival. The festival, also known as Bon Om Touk, is one of the largest and most celebrated in the country. It usually occurs in October\/November over 3 days and marks the reversal of the flow of the Tonle Sap River and the end of the rainy season.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
