I always told my friends I love being Asian of mix culture. I get to celebrate New Year three times a year.
There’s the actual New Year on January 1st.
There’s the Chinese New Year in February.
There’s the Cambodian New Year in April.
For Cambodian New Year we used to go to temple but no one takes the time to go to there anymore. The atmosphere is really different here in America then back home in Cambodia. When people celebrate Cambodian New Year in Cambodia, they really celebrate it. It’s a really happy, colorful event. Chinese New Year too. The best part was the red envelope. Sadly, those days are gone. Since I’m older now and working full time, no more red envelopes for me :(
Every year my mom makes noodles in these king size plates. They are so gooood. Best wishes in the Year of the Tiger to all!
