Within Cambodia, lies many old monk monasteries. Most of them are so old they have 700 year old trees growing in them. A lot of temples can be found throughout the city as well.
A lot of the food eaten in Cambodia is not vegan. It contains fruits, vegetables, peppers, oils, spices, and a lot of sugar. Most of the food that you'll eat will often be eaten with sticky rice and a source of protein.
Tuk tuk, like cars, are a very common source of transportation. Containing three wheels, it'll hold up to about three people driven by one man or woman. It would cost $1.50 depending on the destination. Tuk tuk is a good source of transportation for the people of Cambodia because the cost of cars is more expensive than here in the states.
The difference in money between both Cambodia and the U.S. is very different. 4,000 riel is equivalent to one U.S. dollar. With one dollar you can buy a meal in Cambodia, unlike the states.
The language of Cambodia is khmer. They have two sets of alphabets they have to learn. When writing no spaces are put in between words. The grammar is similar to English, the difficult part is the translation.
School is a large cost that comes out of many families' paychecks. School cost about $2,400, but much of the city is wealthy due to agriculture, clothing and textiles, and the several logging industries that provide most of the money for the people living there.
A tradition for the people of Cambodia is the cleansing of the Buddha. Once a year they’ll wash the Buddha as a sign of respect, to clean off what will be left behind . It's like their own new year. Another festival that is practiced for the period of three days is the water festival. Over the next three days, the people of Cambodia will have water wars.
The country of Cambodia as a whole is a welcoming society that’ll guide you through beautiful areas in the country.
(note that the most practiced religion is Buddhism)
