| Despite fame for her ancient cultures Cambodia did
not even exist 5,000 years ago. The area is flat and was
under the sea. When sea levels dropped the land was settled by
regional migrants.
Influences from present day China, Vietnam and India all played
a major part in the shaping of a nation now regarding themselves
as Khmer.
The country is almost round in shape and it's small size will make
it fairly easy to travel when they get around to fixing the roads.
The best route is between Phnom Pehn and Sihanoukville, best to
take a boat between the capital and Siem Reap. |

necessary for a comfortable stay are easily found.
