Happy Khmer New Year

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.

Happy Khmer New Year

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Happy Khmer New Year to all CEO readers and their families! :hattip:
We hope that you have a good time despite the restrictions in place.

Does anyone want to do a comparison between their New Year 2020 and New Year 2021 to give an idea how things have changed over the year ?

Last year was in self quarantine at home in Australia followed by weeks of lock down, only allowed out for food and work.
This year in Kampot so far unaffected but plenty of places closed, oh and my girly can't buy any street food, venders must have taken the day off . :beer3:

Last year, 2020, I had expected to be home with the family. The lad's first birthday, Khmer New Year. But the passenger flights had all been cancelled, and I was stranded in UK.
This year, 2021, my schedule would have had me back home a couple of days after KNY, and I've missed the lad's second birthday. But travel and quarantine restrictions now make it nigh on impossible to get home.

I haven't bought a 2021 calendar. The main difference is this year I'm not travelling around Europe with birthday presents in my suitcase in the hope that I might get back to PhnomPenh.
It sucks, to use a popular term. I'm teetering between apathy and irritation.

Press Statement
Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State
April 14, 2021

On behalf of the United States of America, I wish the Cambodian people a joyous Khmer New Year.

Khmer New Year is a special time to celebrate the great richness and vibrance of Cambodian culture. As communities around the world continue to navigate unprecedented challenges, we look forward to finding ways to advance our shared goals in the year to come.

May all Cambodians enjoy a prosperous and healthy Year of the Ox.

Last year was subdued but all relatively calm. This year there is an overwhelming sense of foreboding. I haven't heard anyone saying happy new year, it seems redundant with what else is developing.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
