Khmer House Warming Party!!

Dinner for hundreds of people!


On Sunday night I got to go to a traditional Khmer house warming party. These parties are basically the same calibre as weddings. In fact, the invitation says "Wedding" on the front, and then on the inside it says "House Warming Party". Awesome.

Typically everyone in town is invited and it is customary to bring a gift of $10 US or something for the house, like a clock. So we brought a clock. This clock is special because it not only tells the time, but it also boasts a beautiful picture of a waterfall with tigers, and when you plug it in, it shimmers!

There is lots of dancing at a Khmer house warming party and a live band! We danced a lot.
