How Chinese Cambodian celebrate Chinese New Year

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

My mizzuzes family barely acknowledge cny, but KNY is a huge deal. Honestly, I am not a fan of CNY because all my neighbours are Sino Khmer and have massive fires burning outside their houses and I cop hot embers and ashes all over my place...what really pissed me off one year was one of my good shirts got burnt by the embers from some prick burning fake money! Grrrr!

No disrepect to anyone celebrating CNY...I just wish they'd show a little more respect for their neighbors.

It started with some incense and prayers to ancestors, then loads of stuff was burnt for good luck, there was a lot of Angkor drunk, then we ate most of the pig and masses of other food, then we drank more beer... :beer3:

Samouth, what percentage of Khmers do you think are Chinese-Khmer? My own personal impression is it's way over 50%. I know that up until a few years ago, according to a CD or PPP article (the former, iirc) Phnom Penh had the biggest Chinese language school enrollment outside of China.

Isn't that sound really harsh for you to say that? You really shouldn't have no respect for any Chinese-Cambodian celebrating Chinese New Year because one of your neighbor accidentally and unintentionally burned your shirt with the embers from them burning the fake money. Every Chinese-Cambodia should not hold accountable for one Chinese-Cambodian's mistake. I feel sorry for you on that, but i don't support you to have no respect for Chinese-Cambodian.

I really don't think Jewish people hate every German because of the Hitler's genocide. If this is not enough, please look at Vietnamese people. Do you think all Vietnamese hate America because of Vietnam War. I guess some of you might even have a Vietnamese wife. Also, do you think that every Cambodian hate American, because America heavily bombarded our country during Vietnam War?
