Wowow! It looked interesting and colorful!! I experienced the festival when i was in Cambodia..
BUttttT..... I feel so bad that they waste a lot time, resources and energy on the WRONG SIDE. LQQT at the street kids and poor folks... they have nothing to fill in their empty stomach....while some rich or middle Khmers pour their money to build buddist temple for no one but bugs and birds, particularly BAT and pigeons... What A WASTE!!

bUDDhist monks do not labor... they just rest their butt on the soft and comfortable matress and slleepppp, eat.... the rest of laymen need to work hard and feeed those lazy goats....
What a waste...

They should have fed the real poor.. the hungry ones... but the lazy bats...
