Khmer440 co-founder Peter Hogan/Keeping_It_Riel Passes Away

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

is it ?
Yes, It's normal to have food at ceremonies such as weddings and funerals. It's not for the diseased, it's for anyone attending. Besides that, you seem quite ignorant about customs here. Have you ever heard of Pchum Benh for example, or noticed the way people leave food and drinks at spirit-houses and shrines? Apparently not.
Im sure that really each and every forum owner has mental issues
That's rich, coming from the poster who most seems like they recently escaped from a mental institution. Good luck, you really need it.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

She was waiting for the embassy to give her the go-ahead on any ceremonies.

They were trying to contact his next of kin in the UK first.

So the official keeping_it_riel farewell function will be Tuesday 9 December (the day after is a public holiday). We'll have it at Garage Bar on Street 110 - it seems appropriate because it was one of the few bars you might spot Pete in on his occasional forays into town. Many thanks to tarariverboat for agreeing to host it
To confirm. This takes place tomorrow (Tuesday) evening from around 6.30. Khmer440 is putting on 2 free kegs of beer and Playboy is contributing something similar.

Who will be coming?

I'm not the one who is confused here. I am however a bit annoyed that you are criticizing a bereaved widow because of some language issues, when your own English is far from perfect.

The food is for the people attending the ceremony, as I already pointed out. That means the live people at the ceremony, not the dead (deceased).
Silence, exile, and cunning.
