Pchum Ben Time Again…
It is that time of the year again. All the Cambodians, old and young, rich and poor, flock to the pagodas to pay respect and pray to the spirits of their ancestors. The roads are crowded, the journeys hazardous, the pick-up trucks overloaded. In the first ten months of 2012, 1589 people were killed in traffic related accidents, a little more than 5 per day. That is 1589 more spirits to pray for for the next year.
