Every traveler has their own unique perspective when visiting a foreign country. Culture shock is nothing new to most first-time traveler to visit Cambodia. But as a Cambodian-American to visit his home country there are a lot to describe.

I will also write about the temples of Angkor assuming that you are aware that it is an architectural masterpiece, one of the wonders of the world, a world heritage site, and one of the greatest tourist destinations in the world. I am mentioning this because, since I am 100 percent Khmer, I can be pretty blasé about these things. In short, I am writing this in the perspective not as a tourist, but as somebody returning to a land he’s never known.
