It had been raining since early morning. The sky was dark without any Sun ray. The weather of today was not very suitable for the performance of Culture Day (April 03) at IFL (Institute of Foreign Languages). Due to heavy rain, the show was delayed for over 2 hours and started at 10:30.

First of all, this is the Khmer Classical Dance Show called Robarm Tvay Preah Po, which means Royal Greeting Dance. It is performed at the beginning of every important ceremony in order to bring lucks and wishes to audiences or for welcoming delegations from abroad. The performers are merely female performers representing Teveda (Angel) from the heaven. The slowly and softly artistic moves and the kind and beautiful facial expression of the performers are the spirits of the whole performance. My friend, Sin Monin (second from the left of red side), was one of the performers in this show. +royal+greeting+traditional+dance+red.jpg)
Next, it was the Khmer Traditional Dance Show called Kuoh Ang Ray, which means Knocking Thick Wooden Rods. Since Cambodia is an agricultural country, this dance represents the action of producing rice and the joy of farmers after harvesting. Pairs of male and female performers dance rhythmically between two thick wooden rods hit by another two performers producing the beat “Dog Dog Duke”.
Then, a student brought up the performance of guitar playing and solo singing a song called “Home”. After that, there was performance by students from department of English, French, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. More, there were School Uniform Fashion Show and Traditional Clothes of 10 Asean Countries Fashion Show by ISP (International Study Program) students until 12:30.+Asean+traditional+clothing.jpg)
In the afternoon, there was joke performance, game playing, singing and dancing for all participants till night. It was great pleasure with participation in this cultural celebration and interaction with other students, and I was really happy to pass this day with my good friends!
