Cambodia Snapshots: Chinese New Year Blings
One of the most celebrated ‘holidays’ here in Cambodia is Chinese New Year. It’s not a official holiday but with a large Chinese community, its no wonder, Chinese New Year is even more festive compared to international new year.
Above is a snapshot of decor for Chinese New Year from a local mall. Gotta love the bold red! Makes me feel lucky!
This is also an entry to Our World Tuesday blog meme.
