Just saw a documentary about Cambodia on TV. It was about the cambodian people still struggling with the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge Regime. Life is hard for the average Khmer, yet hardly any interviewee complained about their life. Near the end of the film there was this scene in a temple with around 50 kids. Once a year, at some holiday, all the buddhas in the temples get washed. And those kids had the biggest waterfight ever right there in this temple. It looked like so much fun… I wonder what a catholic priest would say to 50 children pouring water over statues and themselves in his church? I’d like to see that…
