CAMBODIA
Country Overview:
"Despite its tragic history, Cambodia is a country of remarkable resilience, boasting a rich cultural heritage and captivating landscapes that deserve exploration."
My journey began in Phnom Penh, the vibrant heart of Cambodia, where the country's political, economic, and cultural threads intertwine. I also had the privilege of visiting the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, an architectural marvel and the world's largest religious monument. It's important to acknowledge Cambodia's troubled past. The Khmer Rouge's reign of terror and the Cambodian genocide left deep scars on the nation. Yet, the Cambodian people have shown remarkable strength and resilience in rebuilding their country.
