Special prize of the lucky draw: a package of 6-night stay in MAADS fine hotels across Cambodia, valued at 1,200 euros, to enjoy at the fullest the invaluable cultural riches of a peaceful country known for its smiling hospitality.
The numerous, happy visitors at the festival often stopped at the colorful MAADS stand to learn more about sustainable tourism in Cambodia and to get answers to their many questions, for instance "how rainy is the 'rainy season' there?". Answer: just enough, and still with lots of sunny hours!".
There were many other relaxed yet meaningful ways to get a glimpse at Cambodia's good-humored, spiritual and artistic DNA: hop in lively traditional village games, gratefully receive the monks blessings at the serene Pagode de Vincennes, marvel at the Khmer ceremonial dances performed by the ever-graceful dancers from the Paris-based Tep Monorom dance company...
...and enjoying Cambodian streetfood, of course, which this year again was a big hit of the festival, always in good neighboring with culinary and cultural experiences from other Asian countries.
