What country is Cambodia?

The Kingdom of Cambodia, commonly known as Cambodia and formerly known as Khmer, is located in Indochina Peninsula, bordering Thailand in the west and northwest, Laos in the northeast, Vietnam in the east and southeast, and Siam Bay in the south.

Cambodia is a dish-shaped basin surrounded by mountains on three sides and a vast and rich plain in the middle, accounting for more than three quarters of the country's area. There are Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, and the capital is Phnom Penh.

Cambodian diet:

1. Cambodians take rice as the staple food, fish and shrimp as the main non-staple food, and like to eat spicy vegetables, such as raw peppers, onions, ginger, lettuce, raw meat, pickled fish sauce and so on. Great changes have taken place in the modern diet. I like Chinese food, Vietnamese food and western food.

2. The traditional houses of Cambodians are mostly high-rise houses with bamboo and wood structures, about two meters from the ground, with people living above and farm tools and vehicles parked below. Most of the houses sit west to east, surrounded by all kinds of tropical exotic flowers and grasses. The capital Phnom Penh has various architectural styles. Temples in the city are all ancient Angkor-style buildings, while more modern houses and office buildings are mostly French-style.

The marriage custom in Cambodia is that the man "marries" to the woman's house. All the weddings were held in the woman's home, and the wedding was presided over by the most prestigious elder in the village.

4. Cambodians should pay attention to manners. The most common understanding is the folding ceremony, that is, put your hands together on your chest and bow your head slightly. The height of your fingertips depends on the identity of the other party. You can also kneel or bow down to the king, members of the royal family and monks. Handshakes are also popular in social situations, but it is appropriate for men and women to cross the border.
