Hi Beni!
So nice to hear from you, and thank you so much for stopping by. I am so glad you like the new look. Hope all is well on your end, though I can imagine how busy it must be since the Opera is coming up.

Hi Mongkol-
So love your blog and all the new improvements.
And exciting to read about the opera.
Wish you could be in Phnom Penh for it.
It will be televised on CTN Christmas and New Years.

Just heard about this event via the Canadian radio show, “As It Happens”
(heard here in America.)
If this show came to Los Angeles it probably would be a hit….Is this a
Cambodian equivalent to “South Pacific”? “Sound of Music?” Or “Flower
Drum Song”?
Perhaps none of those…but,good luck to the production!
