Nuptials Cambodian style





Over the past two days, our hotel, The Kool hotel on a small side
street of the main Siem Reap road, had been tranformed. The occassion:
a traditional Cambodian wedding. They go all out for these and this
one featured elaborate pleated fabrics, flowers, and offerings
throughout the hotel. Best of all, the festivities started with
blasting Cambodian music at 6am. We had been warned when we checked
in--no apologies but instead the simple and profound statement, "it is
part of our culture."
