Remember how I told you traffic was impossible to negotiate in Phnom Penh? Well this is one traffic stopper. Houses aren't built here to accomodate fiestas or family events and particularly not the traditional three day weddings. So families (who occupy every single room in their houses) rent tents for their occasions.

These tents get set up, literally, in the middle of the street in front of the family house. Huge sound systems belt out the latest Western and Khmer tunes and food, food, food is the evidence of the bride's family wealth and security.
