Tasty Dog in the Kingdom #17

Tasty Dog in the Kingdom: This Cambodian Life #17.  More holidays can you believe.  Thanksgiving in Cambodia is whatever you can cook without an oven, a plethora of pumpkin and bemoaning the loss of apple pie, followed by the Water Festival and how you can wish for health, money and love in the upcoming year on the banks of the Siem Reap River (and health includes not going into the river), yet another ecology lesson to help you with your Cambodia-learnings and what is the scariest thing when all the people from the provinces come to hang out in the big city.  The episode concludes with some noise from the riverbanks during the last night of the Water Festival.  No, those aren’t gunshots, they are fireworks.  Duh.

The opening music is Sin Sisamuth (I realize I have been misspelling the transliteration of his name this WHOLE time) and another old favorite, Rosarai Sothea about whom there is some 20 minute documentary that I want to see, but haven’t yet.  If I track it down and watch it, perhaps I will give you my two cent review.  So pay your two cents.
