Ancestors day in Cambodia

Ancestors day (http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/9/23/224951/808/travel/Fall+Festival...) sounds pretty good.

Here's another explanation of the event:
http://www.mekong.net/cambodia/pchum.htm

"At 10:00 the people return with more food, which will be shared between monks and poor people. Os many of the Buddhist traditions seem to relate to feeding the poor. Disabled people also crowd around the temple tat is hour, begging alms. To give help to the less-fortunate, particularly during Pchum Ben, is to acquire merit. Many people explained that the offerings they made during the festival were to cancel out past sins."
