Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. Say "Cambodia,"
and two associations often come to mind: the lost glories of
Angkor, and the horrors of the Khmer Rouge. Any understanding of
Cambodia today, however, must embrace these opposites, as well as
the changing attitudes within the country caused by something of a
demographic revolution-today, close to seventy percent of
Cambodians are under thirty. In the past, Cambodia was the center
of the Khmer empire. For six hundred years it ruled much of what is
now Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand from its capital at Angkor. The
ruins of the Khmer palaces, temples, and cities testify to its
power, wealth, high culture, and engineering prowess, while their
subsequent abandonment and long obscurity provide a sobering
example of civilization's fragility. Today, Cambodia is negotiating
its rich and complex past with the challenges of modernity in a
globalized world. Culture Smart! Cambodia is for all those who want
to do more than just scratch the surface of this fascinating
country. Thoroughly updated, this new edition will enrich your
understanding of the land and its people. It explains the key
values, attitudes, customs, and traditions that you need to be
aware of and provides practical tips and vital information on how
to make the most of your time in Cambodia. Have a richer and more
meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the
local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and
traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while
tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate
unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
