the statements are True (T), False (F), or Not Mentioned (NM).
Cow Racing Festival
The purpose of Cow Racing Festival is to celebrate the last day of the year, according to the Khmer
calendar. The festival takes place within the region of Seven Mountains, An Giang Province, from
the 29th day of the th lunar month to the 2nd day of the 9th= lunar month.
Before the competition, from several villages of An Giang Province, best pairs of cows chosen for
joining the activity go under special treatment for months. They are well fed and traditionally
taught. On the racing day, pairs of cows perform their skills on a rice field which must be really
muddy and in a length of 120 meters.
When the race starts, with each pair of cows, the rider, holding a tow, will make them run as fast
as possible by slashing. However, within a pair, the cows must maintain the same speed.
The race is a circular track, including two laps. In the first round, pairs of cows are under control,
while, in the second one, there is no holding back. The pairs which remain until the end of the
event and manage to reach the finish line before their competitors will be the winners. The rider
leading their cows to the first position will be awarded the greatest honour - the bravest rider in
the region.
Elephant Racing Festival
To local people in Central Highlands, the elephant has become a close friend with humans as
they help people in working, transporting, and traveling. To express the bond between human
beings and this friendly creature, Elephant Racing Festival, one of the biggest festivals in
Central Highlands, is held annually in the third lunar month.
As preparation for the festival, villagers feed their elephants with a wide range of food apart
from grass, including corn, sugar canes, sweet potatoes, papayas, and bananas. Also, in order to
preserve their strength, the elephants take a rest without hard work.
Attending the event, festival goers are in their most beautiful and colorful holiday clothes. On
this day, elephants from several villages gather at Don Village. Each time, ten elephants will run
at the same time for about one or two kilometers. Therefore, the track's ground should be large
enough. The competition is guided by the sound of til va, a kind of horn. The first elephant
which reaches the appointed destination will receive a laurel wreath as a sign of victory, and it
will enjoy the achievement excitedly with sugar canes and bananas from surrounding people.
