A photograph of men standing in a line and playing chol chhoung, a traditional Khmer New Year game. The game involves a lineup of young men on one side and a lineup of young women on the opposite side, and a tied krama is thrown back and forth. It's the young men's turn to catch the krama. A happy new year sign is visible in the background. This game was played during the New Year celebration at the Philippine Refugee Processing Center.
