About Cambodia - Land of Ancient
Heritage - Land of Rebirth.....
The
Kingdom of Cambodia, formerly knows as Kampuchea is the successor state of the
once powerful Hindu and Buddhist Khmer Empire ruling most of Indochina.
The country borders Thailand to the north and west, Laos to the northeast,
and Vietnam to the east and southeast. It has a 275 miles
coastline to the south along the Gulf of Thailand. Cambodia is
dominated by the mighty Mekong River, the Tonle' Sap, its enormous fresh
water lake, and the famous majestic temple towers of Angkor Wat.
The
kingdom's capital and largest city is Phnom Penh. Agriculture has
long been the most important sector of the Cambodian economy, with over 50% of
the population relying on growing rice as their livelihood.
Tonle' Sap - the Great Lake - expands to over 9,000 square miles during the
rainy season and is an important economic source of
fish. Other sources of livelihood for Cambodians are
timber, garments and rubber. Oil and natural gas deposits found in
Cambodia's territorial waters will bring profound economic benefits in the near
future.
More than 90% of Cambodia's population
is of Khmer origin and speaks the Khmer language. Other segments of the
society include Chinese, Vietnamese, Cham and Khmer Loeu. Rural Cambodians
wear a krama scarf which is a unique aspect of Cambodian clothing.
Khmer culture, originating in the Khmer Empire has distinctive styles
of dance, architecture and sculpture, which have been exchanged with neighboring
Laos and Thailand over time. Angkor Wat - the City Temple - is the
best preserved example of Khmer architecure. The Khmer people also
have a unique way of recording information on Tra leaf.
The cuisine of Cambodia is relatively unknown to
the world and includes tropical fruits, soups and noodles. A French
influence is Cambodian red curry with
toasted baguette bread. The most popular 'dine out' dish is ka
tieu, a pork broth rice noodle soup with fried garlic, scallions,
green onion, beef balls, shrimp, pork liver or lettuce.
Cambodians have endured far more than their share of
sorrow. Peace has come to this beautiful yet scourged land after three
decades of civil war. The Cambodian people are opening their arms to
the world.
Cambodia  is
truly a Land of Anicent History, and a Land of
Rebirth.
