Khmer New Year is a traditional new year day in Cambodia. It celebrates in April or sometimes in March depending on a day in the calendar of each year. It always celebrates 3 days in a year. During these 3 days, all Cambodian always go to the pagoda and bring some foods for monk. They can go not only in the morning, but also in the afternoon, as well. Some people like to go to the pagoda in the afternoon, while some of them usually go to the pagoda in the morning. Moreover, in the afternoon and evening they prefer to play popular games or go for a walk instead. On Khmer New Year many people who live in towns or places which are very far from the capital city, they often come and visit the capital city because on that day in the capital city is very happy and has a lot of fun activities to do. In contrast, many people who live in the capital city prefer to go to their hometown or visit another cities or provinces instead. Because they think that they live in the capital city every day so it’s just the same activities and not so interesting for them, while people who live in another province think that it’s really interesting. All Cambodian really love this traditional holiday and they always enjoy their holiday on that day.

In my opinion, Khmer New Year is the best holiday for me because I have three or four days off from school. Moreover, I can enjoy myself with my family by having an out-country trip or in-country trip. Both trips were very enjoyable for me. In addition, not only me but also many people in Cambodia enjoy that holiday because they can have many activities to do and join. Finally, if tourists are interested to Cambodia, they should visit Cambodia in that occasion. They will enjoy with our traditional new year eve.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this sentence: Khmer New Year is a traditional New Year day in Cambodia. So what New Year is not traditional New Year for its country? I think you can say like this: Khmer New Year is one of the traditional holidays for Cambodian. Moreover, I think you got confused at this point: "all Cambodian always go to the pagoda and bring some foods for monk. They can go not only in the morning, but also in the afternoon, as well". Actually, people can go to pagoda at the morning or the afternoon, if you want because it the place to worship Buddhist, so no one would forbid you to go to pagoda unless it is in the midnight. I just want to clarify... Thank you!
