A picture taken with an old Galaxy Nexus during the third day of Khmer new year.
Cambodia follows the solar lunar year. Similar to Thailand and Myanmar.
It goes with the more known name 'Songkran' in Thailand.
What happens is that for three days in April, the streets are transformed into one big water and powder fight.
Everyone walks around with water pistols, while smearing random strangers' faces with baby powder...
Sadly enough, this environment was unsafe for my proper camera, so I took this shot with my phone. A bit of a missed opportunity, but still wanted to share this with you.
