Cambodia

In Khmer culture a person's head is believed to contain the persons soul--therefore making it taboo to touch or point your feet at it. It is also considered to be extremely disrespectful to point or sleep with your feet pointing at a person, as the feet are the lowest part of the body and are considered to be impure. Customary Cambodian teachings include: that if a person does not wake up before sunrise he is lazy; you have to tell your parents or elders where you are going and what time you are coming back home; close doors gently, otherwise you have a bad temper; sit with your legs straight down and not crossed (crossing your legs shows that you are an impolite person); and always let other people talk more than you.

The notorious Khmer Rouge regime was overthrown by the Vietnamese in 1979.

he changed the everything because he became president at that time

One of the most beautiful and astonishing landmarks in Cambodia is the Silver Pagoda. The Silver Pagoda is located in the Royal Palace and contains a golden jeweled Buddha.

It was built in Granada, Spain in the AD 1300s on a site that was first mentioned as the "Red Fortess" in the late 9th century.

The religion practiced in Cambodia is mainly Buddhist.

Indonesians do not use chopsticks (unless they are in a Chinese restaurant). They traditionally use a spoon and a fork in most of Indonesia, one in each hand, though in some parts of the nation it is traditional to use one's hands.

Modern Cambodian people eat and sleep just like every Americans do.

The words I would used to describe the Khmer Rouge are much too obscene to be allowed on Wikianswers. Their government was definitely communist, which is where the Rouge comes from, as it is the French word for red. Yet, while most communists believed in modernization, the Khmer Rouge were unusual in that they favored a return to the feudalism of the Khmer Empire. Therefore it could also be described as a feudal type of government.

Because Khmer Rouge hated rich people, educated people. So they kill all Khmer people that work for government: singer,teacher,police officer.... then they try to gather other people that have just simple job to country side.

The Khmer Rouge, a name given the Khmer Communist Party by the Prime Minister of Cambodia the Party ousted in a coup of April, 1975, Lon Nol. Lon Nol had, with the aid of an American invasion of Cambodia, become the Prime Minister after routing the forces of the hereditary ruler of Cambodia, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, in 1970. The five years of the Lon Nol regime and the invasion of Cambodia from the air by the United States made the Nol government extremely unpopular and paved the way for the takeover in 1975 by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge.

The Khmer Rouge set about almost immediately to evacuate the entire city of Phnom Pehn, the capital, moving almost two million people into the countryside for "reeducation", and then set about the systematic slaughter of essentially the entire population of educated Cambodians. During the period from 1977 through 1981, an estimated number of over 2,000,000 Cambodians were killed, including a great number of children, who were said to have been killed so they could not retaliate for the deaths of their families.

Yes cambodia is an LEDC you idiots. It does not have a lot of tourism and it is known for it being a poor country. If any of you were smart enough to know that.

Dear Sir/Madam

Who can tell us what is the current economic in Cambodia?

Cambodia's area is about 70,000 square miles, or about 181,000 square kilometers.

During Vietnam War, Cambodian King, Norodom Sihanouk wanted the South and North Vietnam to become one country again. He also allowed North Vietnamese to station in Cambodia. When US came to help South Vietnam fought the North, US overthrew Cambodian King and replaced with pro-American prime minister, Lon Nol who supported US. Lon Nol allowed Idiot Nixon and Kissinger to drop illegal bombs on Cambodia lands. Nixon and Kissinger did this illegally and kept secret from Americans in mainland. These two stupid dogs believed that North Vietnamese were in the location that they were targeted. But they weren't; American bombs Cambodia for about 2-3 years, more than 500,000 Cambodian civilians were killed and injured. Million of people became homeless and migrated to the capital city, Phnom Penh. While the country was in an ugly shape, Pol Pot(a communist leader) pretended to come and help Cambodians. Pol Pot was a Cambodian scholar who studied abroad in France. He opposed the western technologies. He wanted the country to go back to the year that Cambodia was an empire(12 century). In 1975, he demanded for the evacuation of the cities, all people were forced to march to the country sides, to doing tasks on the field with there bare hands. The Cambodian Genocide then took place from 1975-1979. Who to blame: Cambodia, Vietnam, and US(Only the two ******* stupid Nixon and Kissinger).

The currency is Riel - although in the cities US$ are used much more often, the ATMs don't even offer you Riel... ($1 = 4000R)

Usually Riel is given as change for amounts less than US$1.

Several sites spell it different ways, but the one that sounds best to me is "Aakoon". There is also "ar kun" and "orkun"

I'm Cambodian and can speak and write Cambodian. The closest phonetic in saying thank you is "Aw ko-oon" (pronounce Ko-oon as one syllable). Typically, we don't just say "thank you" by itself. We'd say "I thank you" (Knyoum Aw ko-oon) or "Sohm Aw ko-oon" (polite or official way) or "Sohm Aw Ko-oon J-rahn", Thank You Very Much. Hope that helps.
