Find out about the History
by aukjejetty
A visit to Cambodia should include a trip to this capital, it tells you so much about the history of the Cambodians. There is a national museum in which you can find out about the ancient history, and see how large the Khmer empire used to be a long time ago. And what is very important is the recent history, it will give you a better understanding of the people living in Cambodia if you pay a visit to the Killing Fields and the Tuol Sleng museum.
The people of Cambodia
by Sharrie
Endurance is something the people of Cambodia knows only too well. Is it the environment, the government, life, or tourists like us that made them frown? or is it poverty, hopelessness or it's just the scorching sun? Or all of the above?
Sometimes, I wonder ... & when I do that, those thoughts can be pretty scary :-(.
Greeting
by Unknownsu
The traditionally greeting in Khmer culture is a bow with the palms placed together at chest level. To show greater respect, a person can bow lower and raising the hands higher. However, Cambodians have adopted the western handshake as a greeting.
everything is there, from dry to!

i didn't know where is the main etrance to the market. As i found my way in, the stinky smell of fish fills the air! It just happened that i went into the wet market entrance. I didnt kn0w it was the wet market because you cant seet from the outside - at that time i suppose.
As i reach the central part, it's clean and cool!
A Hagglers Paradise
by Jasen71 about Russian Market
There are a hundred and one stalls to shhop in here, and there are some pretty interesting stalls as well.. of course you can browse the fake brand name clothes stalls, and pirate cd and dvd shops, or if you like a bit of blood then the chicken stall where you can see the star of the nights menu meet his end... and it's not for the faint hearted.. with all stalls one can haggle the prices down..A hearty laugh and a firm price offer normal works.. if you ain't sure on the power of your haggling then watch the monty python film 'the life of brian' where you can see the art of street haggling in action. CD and DVDs not much
