As if this whole day of celebration was far from enough, the Phnom Penh City Hall in collaboration with the Cambodian Television Network (CTN) organized a big concert as well as a celebratory firework display at the Naga Bridge near Wat Phnom this evening. The performance, which was pretty well done despite the short time frame, was attended by thousands of overjoyed Cambodians, including me myself.
So as to cut a long story short, let’s have a look what I got from this fun event!
Let’s dance, Cambodia!
Not so unexpected, I bummed into my friend Savy, who was also invited to perform at the concert. Way to go, girl! So proud of you!
A crowd of spectators, young and old, proudly waved the Cambodian national flag, in celebration of the official inclusion of Preah Vihear temple on the World Heritage List.
It was so good to run into familiar faces there. These ugly boys and girl (ooops!) are fellow Cambodian bloggers I met at the Concert, namely Boeun (left), Bandith (2nd left), Virya (Center), Srey Mom (2nd right) and Sopheak (right).
A big celebration wouldn’t be complete without a nice firework. Here is one of the fireworks from tonight. So spectacular, wasn’t it?
Great photos, Mongkol – I’ve never been able to get good fireworks! What a great day to be in Cambodia!

Hey, Mongkol I saw you on TV that night…eventhough it was raining but it was so excited…
Preah Vihear is Ours and it is always Ours.
So you recognized me. Hehehe.
It was one of the most exciting nights I’ve had. You could have joined us there, although you did cheer with us at home.
Cheers!
Of course I recognized you, first I saw you just for very short time, I was wondering, I knew this guy somewhere…then I was waiting for the cameraman to focus on the crowd again then I realized that it was you.
I am living in Siem Reap, just can cheer with you at home…
Cheers!
Lol. You’ve got good eyes.
So what do you do in Siem Reap, Bong? From your blog, you are a cook, aren’t you?
Right, I am just a very little head chef in a very little stars hotel…
