Not to diminish in any way the tragedy that just happened in Cambodia....but just to enlighten you all...the Cambodian water festival is not what you think it is and has no relevancy to this forum, cos this is not like the famous water festivals that happen in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Burma and the Dai Province of China....i.e. a water throwing festival. Those water festivals all happen in April.
This festival in Cambodian is nothing like that. It is basically the same thing as the famous Dragon Boat races held in Hong Kong and around the world, and like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race in the UK...it is merely a festival for watching boats race on the river...not a wetlook festival...cos nobody gets wet....so as I said...not to diminish the tragedy in any way....but this festival has no relevancy to wetlook fans or this forum....which is why I used the OT (off topic) prefix...

Given that such an event is bound to attract wetlook enthusiasts, let's hope all our friends from here are safe and reflect on the sadness of a tragedy at what should have been a wonderful day of celebration for so many.
