New Year's Eve 2009 in SihanoukVille, Cambodia on the beach was great!. About 12,000 people filled the beaches and islands of SihanoukVille for an all night party. From the top of SihanoukVille Mountain, you could see literally hundreds of thousands of fireworks, bursting in the air. (although most were very small).  The temperature was a chilling 28 degrees (that's somewhere in the 80's

Winter has arrived in SihanoukVille, Cambodia at last. Everybody's favorite time of year. Only problem, is that the next 4 months seem to go by in a few weeks.

Happy P'chum Bun, the 2 week festival for the dead starting today! The local Wats (Buddhist Temples) will be filled with people bringing food and gifts for their ancestors, and for the monks.

2009 started with a blast, here on SihanoukVille's beaches. A light, unseasonal rain couldn't dampen our spirits as 2009 approached.
