With politics getting a little heated over the past few months I was wondering if this will have any affect on the Water Festival. It is usually cancelled at the first sign of any trouble or potential for crowds to cause problems.
Strangely I've hardly seen the Water Festival mentioned. I know the official schedule comes out a few hours before the event as bloody usual but haven't seen or heard anything from Phnom Penh.
Siem Reap is preparing as normal but we don't have the political disputes up here in the sticks...

If it's any indication, it appears that they have begun construction for the bleacher seating in front of the Royal Palace to view the boat races. So, to me, that is an indication that they are preparing for it at the moment (not to say that that couldn't change).

Last I heard it was still on.
I was told that a lot of teams have dropped out because the majority of the rowers are away in Thailand for work this year. Morticia's family usually has a few boats in the running...this year, none.
