Is it hard to describe this Southeast asian nation in several paragraphs? In a sense, perhaps it is not that easy to come up with something in your mind to express a place and people you visited and encountered.

On the brighter side the Cambodian people take extreme pride in their past and specifically in Angkor – one of the true wonders of the world. The main temple Angkor Wat is present as a logo just about everywhere from the Cambodian flag down to the beer can. If you visit the immense temple complex it will blow you out of your socks. At the time the Khmer empire was at its height (~1200 A.D) the Angkor city had more than a mio. citizens – London and Paris were dwarfish in comparison. Eventually the empire collapsed and Angkor was almost forgotten and overgrown by the jungle. It was probably Hollywood with a couple of movies which caused the tourism potential to explode.
