Royal Ploughing Festival
Recently Cambodia celebrated another national holiday, I intended this time to join in the festivities....alas the event began before 8am and the PP social life simply does not lend itself to such adventures on "sleep-in dayz".... Now come, this is totally forgivable when you consider that most people work 6 or even 7 days a week.
That I am an unemployed bum has nothing to do with it!! I must show support for my working buddies
(buy it? no neither do I)
In an effort to get into the flow of things I have below the gist of "National Royal Ploughing Day" from a blogspot of some interest: http://www.ki-media.blogspot.com/ a site self described as "dedicated to publishing sensitive information about Cambodia", written by Cambodians.
"If the Sacred Cows eat paddy or maize, the prophecy is that the harvests and food produce will be abundant. If they eat green bean or sesame, food produce will be abundant and the food that we eat every day will also be available throughout the country. If they drink water or eat grass, water will be abundant, while harvests, food produce and the food that we eat every day will be rich in supply. If they drink the liquor, transportation will be convenient and commerce with foreign countries will be prosperous"
However if the cow fails to eat one.......disaster! so much relying on this sacred beast
ps, a sneaky trip to Vietnam tomorrow for 3 days of shopping and cinema, tis a good life eh?
