Wordless Wednesday 007: A traditional Khmer wedding

Posted by Sreisaat on November 04, 2009 @ Inside Cambodia

This is the wedding ceremony of my landlord's daughter. A traditional Khmer wedding ceremony is usually done over a 3day period. Nowadays, however, the ceremony is cut down to two days. Despite the shortened ceremony, it still is rife with rituals, elaborate costume changes not only of the bride but also of the groom and their attendants, and relatives, as well as the festive atmosphere and sumptuous feasts.

Oh, and the sister of the bride, too!Traditionally, Khmer weddings last for three days and are done at the bride's home. Nowadays, the ceremony is shortened to only one day. Our landlord's daughter's wedding, however, was held for two days (may kaya sila). Despite the shortened ceremony, it is still rife with elaborate rituals, costume changes (not only of the bride but also of the groom, their attendants, and their parents), and not to forget the food and merry-making!

Litratong Pinoy #31: Tulay (Bridge)

Posted by Sreisaat On Thursday, April 30, 2009


PH Bridge - Panay Bridge
Panay Bridge (Roxas City Bridge
Roxas City, Capiz
Philippine

Sa susunod na taon ay mag-i-isang daang taon na ang Panay Bridge, isa sa mga landmarks sa lungsod ng Roxas. Ginawa noong taong 1910, at ilang bagyo at lindol na rin ang dumaan ay nakatayo pa rin ito. Ito ang nagdudugtong sa residential streets patungo sa commercial district ng aming lungsod. Ito rin ang nagsisilbing gateway papunta sa mga iba't-ibang lalawigan ng Capiz.


Napag-usapan na rin lang natin ang mga lumang tulay, ipapakita ko sa inyo ang dalawa sa nakita kong tulay sa Angkor Wat complex. Kuha ito tatlong taon na ang nakakaraan. Actually causeways ito pero nagsisilbing tulay na rin. (Palusot pa!)

Pasensya na sa makulit na kapatid kong bumalandra para mag-pose (nasa kanan)

Bago makarating sa main entrance ng Angkor Wat Temple ay tatahakin mo muna itong may 500metrong causeway na gawa sa sandstone. Actually hugis-krus ang causeway na ito.

Yan lang po. Bow.
