On the Edge 2
People start going to the pagoda, ahead of the Pchum Ben festival which is the time of the year the Cambodians honour the deceased in their families. It is the occasion for many streetchildren to try and make some money by selling flowers or birds, used to carry wishes to the spirits, to the worshippers.
