The Mansion at 32 Sotheros
December 20
The FCC is throwing a party in the mansion at 32 Sotheros with live music and a DJ.
Phnom Penh's favorite Latin Rock will play first. If you haven't seen Bad Neighbour live, they play very groovable, infinitely danceable Latin rock that is just about impossible not to dance to. DJ Filipe will take over when the band is through. Thirty-two Sotheros — the old, yellow mansion across from the National Museum — should make for an incredible venue, with plenty of spaces to explore. It will still be in its neglected state for the party. Starts at 9 p.m. and goes until late.

Pacharan will celebrate Christmas in Spanish style. The meal starts with a glass of bubbling cava, followed with a 4-course menu including fresh scallops, crab with Iberian ham, grilled seafood, turkey stuffed with chorizo, pineapple and saffron ice cream, and more, all accompanied by a flight of Spanish wines. $45 per person. Served for dinner on Christmas Eve, and lunch and dinner on Christmas Day. For reservations and details call 023 224 394.
