The Kingdom of
Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia. The capital is Phnom Penh. The
population is about 14,453,680. Official language is Khmer. Cambodia is a flat,
forested land. Most of the population are farmers, growing rice, fruit and vegetables. People live in small houses built on stilts to
protect them from the floods that come each year. In recent times, the country’s biggest source of
income has been the textile industry. The second largest source of Cambodian
income is tourism.
Here is an
anthem:
The postcard
shows Ta Phom Temple, inscribed on the UNESKO World Heritage List. It was built
in the Bayon style
largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally
called Rajavihara. It was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman
VII as
a Mahayana
Buddhistmonastery and university. The photogenic and atmospheric combination of
trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings
have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples among visitors.
And to finish,
wonderful Ave wrote a very wise statement: «Enjoy little things in life…for one
day you’ll look back and realize they were big things!»
Thanks a lot for
the postcard, Ave!
