Oar and order

Rowers of Dangkor commune boat Komsan Choulasa put their all into a practice session yesterday on a Choeung Ek pond using stationary split logs in place of their racing craft. Previously, the Water Festival, or Bon Om Tuk, drew two million visitors to Phnom Penh for the boat races and festivities but due to the global economic crisis last year, official estimates put the number at a million. Expect that figure to balloon in 2010.
