The kite fantastic

Ravat, 8, flies a kite made of notebook paper, bamboo and tape on the riverfront in Phnom Penh as a cooler season and its winds begins. The making and flying of Cambodian kites dates back many centuries and the craft and recreation are popular throughout the country. The wind racing past a bow attached to many Khmer kites makes whistling musical sounds.
