There are so many Chinese-Cambodian in Cambodia. So Chinese New Year is one of the bigger celebration in Cambodia. Therefore, what come to your mind when we talk about Chinese New Year celebration in Cambodia?

For me:

1. Many stores will be closed

2. Less traffic in Phnom Penh

3. More traffic accidents in the provinces like Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, Kep and Kampot

4. More khmer will be drunk on that day

5. There will be a lot of decoration with red stuff

For me:

1. It's damned annoying when all the staff want to go home for Chinese New Year, but it's not even a gazetted holiday.

2. It's damned annoying that my family want to go to the province, while I have to continue working.

3. It's damned annoying that I'm stuck in PP, but many shops and restaurants are closed and the wife has gone to the province.

Why doesn't the government just bite the bullet and make it an official holiday. It would really impress the Chinese.
