Happy New Year!

Last weekend was Cambodian New Year and one of the largest festivities are held at Wat Dharmararam Cambodian Buddhist Temple in Stockton, Ca. The event is a week long featuring traditional Cambodian food, crafts, entertainment and of course, prayer.
I’ve gone every year since high school and despite the fact that half of my friends are Khmai, I wouldn’t understand them nearly as well if I didn’t go to events like these.  And if you don’t know anyone, it really is a true cultural experience for the eyes, ears and tummy!!
