Well well well.... what to start first? Over the week, i had a few occasions in a row.
Firstly, it was on Friday 26th, I went to Victoria and Chris's house for a Christmas party.
After work i left my office at 5PM, stop by Lucky Shopper Market to buy some drinks and cookies for the party. Everyone knows that driving in Phnom Penh is annoying, irritating and frustrating. I was patient enough drove to a bank to withdraw some cash from ATM for next day trip to Siem Reap. There were many people waiting in a long line, I gave up and went to another bank. Unfortunately, my car battery died and i could not start my car. Luckily, Cambodians are nice and kind, they helped me connect my battery to another car's battery so that i could start my car. It was a funny evening, I could not find Cox's house and got lost. It was not a good evening, but also a lucky evening, anyway. I was saved again! I met Jim and he took me to Cox's house as he was going there too.
Alright! Now it's a good time! It was fun to meet many friends and new friends at the party. We had lots of food, played some games, told story about Jesus and so on.
Erin and I were in the same color. Looking twin :-)
Secondly, I went to Siem Reap on Saturday 27th to attend my nephew's wedding. It was a big wedding which took for the whole two days. However, elders were supposed to attend the whole wedding, but young people always have fun hanging out together. haha.
Once we arrived Siem Reap, the elders went to the wedding, but some and the youngs started to hang out. We went to the Musium, it is a nice and modern musium. I suggest everyone goes to Siem Reap should go to the musium.
Look at the wedding cake!!! It's the biggest wedding cake i ever seen.
Traditionally, the groom's parentes offer 32 kinds of fruit to the bridge's parents.
Guess what! I have so many relatives who live in Cambodia and abroad. I don't know all of them. It was a great chance attending the wedding, I met many of my relatives who i never known before.
In this picture are all my nieces and nephews. I am just a young uncle who is proud to have many nieces and nephews and they are beautiful and handsome! Among them, are from New Zeland, USA and France. However, they are good kids and proud to be Cambodians. They love their relatives, their country, their people....... They love their root!!!
Anyone knows which one is my hand? Well.... the one with two beauty spots :-)
This is Barkong temple where is 10km far from the town.
Standing at the back row are my cousins who are the parents of the front row who are my nieces and nephews.
I can play many kind of sports and activities, but i'm not good at them. Just can play haha.
Me and my nephew Kheing who studies in France.
I did enjoy hang out with my newphews. They are nice people and love their relatives, especially their nice uncle, Spencer. hahaWe went to play pool, table tennis then we went to foreigner town where there are many restaurants and pubs. I don't drink beer or wind, but soft drink. They are understood people and don't force me to drink. We went to a pub, sitting in a outdoor table, drinking fruit shake and talking. I do like outdoor restaurants.
We hang out there until 1AM, we went to mart and bought some drinks and snack to our hotel and play card until 3AM.
Next day, we got back to Phnom Penh, and I invited all of my nieces, nephews and their parents to my house and had a big dinner in our garden.
Alright! that's all about the weekend. Hopefully, i will have a good time with friends and family on the New Year Eve. Then more photos and story to share on my blog. Keep updating ;-)
P.S: I already bought a new battery for my car (",)
